CSS3 animation-fill-mode Property


Example

Animate something moving from one place to another and have it stay there:

div {
    -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

Try it yourself »

Definition and Usage

The animation-fill-mode property specifies what styles will apply for the element when the animation is not playing (when it is finished, or when it has a "delay").

By default, CSS animations will not affect the element you are animating until the first keyframe is "played", and then stops affecting it once the last keyframe has completed. The animation-fill-mode property can override this behavior.

Default value: none
Inherited: no
Animatable: no. Read about animatable
Version: CSS3
JavaScript syntax: object.style.animationFillMode="forwards" Try it


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

backwards The animation will apply the property values defined in the keyframe that will start the first iteration of the animation, during the period defined by animation-delay. These are either the values of the from keyframe (when animation-direction is "normal" or "alternate") or those of the to keyframe (when animation-direction is "reverse" or "alternate-reverse")
