About the CSS Transition Generator

The CSS Transition Generator lets you fine-tune how an element animates between states. Choose the property to transition, set the duration, pick an easing timing-function and add a delay. Hover the preview box to trigger the transition and feel the timing before you ship it.

It is perfect for polishing buttons, cards and links where a subtle ease makes the interface feel responsive. The generated transition shorthand is ready to drop onto any element alongside its :hover rule.

Everything runs locally in your browser — free, private and offline-capable.

Frequently asked questions

What is the CSS transition shorthand syntax?

The shorthand is transition: property duration timing-function delay, for example transition: transform 300ms ease-in-out 0ms. You can list several transitions separated by commas to animate multiple properties independently.

Which timing-function should I use?

ease-out feels natural for elements entering the screen, ease-in for elements leaving, and ease-in-out for state changes like hovers. linear suits continuous motion such as spinners, and cubic-bezier lets you craft custom curves.

Why is my CSS transition not working?

Transitions only animate between two defined values, so both the start and end states must have an explicit value for the property. Also, some properties (like display) are not animatable — transition transform or opacity instead.

What is a good transition duration?

For UI micro-interactions, 150–300ms feels snappy without being abrupt. Anything over about 500ms starts to feel sluggish for hover states, though longer durations suit large entrance animations.

Can I transition multiple properties at once?

Yes. List each property with its own timing in a comma-separated transition value, or use transition: all to animate every changed property with the same timing. Naming specific properties performs better than all.
