If you need to create basic visual effects, such as changing color, scaling, rotating or moving objects, then they will definitely suit you because these effects are simple and easy to implement. CSS animations are a reliable tool in the arsenal of a web developer because they are supported by all browsers and provide high performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s take a look at how CSS animations work, how they work with SVG animation, and how to use them properly to achieve flawless results in web development. If you want to learn about all <a href=\"\/en\/5-svg-animation-techniques\/\">5 SVG methods<\/a>, we have a separate article on our blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The basics of CSS Animation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradual CSS animations allow CSS property values \u200b\u200bto change. This can be implemented using key frames (@keyframes). They define the initial and final states of the animation and the intermediate states between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@keyframes scaleAnimation {\n  from {transform: scale(1);}\n  to {transform: scale(1.5);}\n}\n\nsvg {\n  animation-name: scaleAnimation;\n  animation-duration: 2s;\n  animation-iteration-count: infinite;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The code above causes the SVG image to smoothly resize from its original state to its enlarged state and back again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CSS properties for animations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Animation of key frames | SELECTOR.SPACE\" class=\"wp-image-421 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Animation-keyframes-1320x1320.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Various CSS properties can be used to animate SVG.

For example, more complex animations, such as animations based on user events or synchronizing multiple animation elements, may require additional tools such as JavaScript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSS also has limited capabilities for working with timelines and sequences, which in turn can limit the complexity and duration of animations. In specific situations like this, JavaScript or specialized libraries like GSAP may be a better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of using CSS animations in web development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Logo animation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the popular methods of using CSS animations is creating logo animations. For example, the company logo appears smoothly when you enter the page or changes color when you move the mouse cursor over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@keyframes logoAnimation {\n  from {transform: scale(0); opacity: 0;}\n  to {transform: scale(1); opacity: 1;}\n}\n\n#logo {\n  animation: logoAnimation 1s ease-out;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Animation of icons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SVG icons can be animated using CSS to create interactive user interface elements. For example, when the user interacts with the menu icon, it can rotate or change color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@keyframes menuIconAnimation {\n  from {transform: rotate(0deg);}\n  to {transform: rotate(90deg);}\n}\n\n.menu-icon:hover {\n  animation: menuIconAnimation 0.5s forwards;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Button animation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic button effects, such as zooming in on click or changing color on hover, can also be achieved using SVG graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>@keyframes buttonHoverAnimation {\n  from {transform: scale(1);}\n  to {transform: scale(1.1);}\n}\n\n.button:hover svg {\n  animation: buttonHoverAnimation 0.3s forwards;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optimization of CSS animations for SVG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Hardware Acceleration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Will-change is a property that provides smooth animation. It tells the browser that certain properties of the element will change and allows them to optimize their processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>svg {\n  will-change: transform, opacity;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing the use of key personnel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a simple animation, you can reduce the use of key frames by applying CSS properties such as transition. This allows you to reduce the amount of code and improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>svg {\n  transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out;\n}\n\nsvg:hover {\n  transform: scale(1.2);\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SVG animation with CSS &#8211; conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Scaling, Rotation and Transparency | SELECTOR.SPACE\" class=\"wp-image-424\" style=\"width:353px;height:auto\" title=\"An image of a scaling, rotation and transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.selector.space\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/CSS-Rotation-and-zoom-animation-1320x1320.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for animating SVG images, then CSS Animations is just what you need.
