Examples

Adding a spin animation

Use the animate-spin utility to add a linear spin animation to elements like loading indicators:

<!-- [!code classes:animate-spin] -->
<button type="button" class="bg-indigo-500 ..." disabled>
  <svg class="mr-3 size-5 animate-spin ..." viewBox="0 0 24 24">
    <!-- ... -->
  </svg>
  Processing…
</button>

Adding a ping animation

Use the animate-ping utility to make an element scale and fade like a radar ping or ripple of water—useful for things like notification badges:

<!-- [!code classes:animate-ping] -->
<span class="relative flex size-3">
  <span class="absolute inline-flex h-full w-full animate-ping rounded-full bg-sky-400 opacity-75"></span>
  <span class="relative inline-flex size-3 rounded-full bg-sky-500"></span>
</span>

Adding a pulse animation

Use the animate-pulse utility to make an element gently fade in and out—useful for things like skeleton loaders:

<!-- [!code classes:animate-pulse] -->
<div class="mx-auto w-full max-w-sm rounded-md border border-blue-300 p-4">
  <div class="flex animate-pulse space-x-4">
    <div class="size-10 rounded-full bg-gray-200"></div>
    <div class="flex-1 space-y-6 py-1">
      <div class="h-2 rounded bg-gray-200"></div>
      <div class="space-y-3">
        <div class="grid grid-cols-3 gap-4">
          <div class="col-span-2 h-2 rounded bg-gray-200"></div>
          <div class="col-span-1 h-2 rounded bg-gray-200"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="h-2 rounded bg-gray-200"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Adding a bounce animation

Use the animate-bounce utility to make an element bounce up and down—useful for things like "scroll down" indicators:

<!-- [!code classes:animate-bounce] -->
<svg class="size-6 animate-bounce ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</svg>

Supporting reduced motion

For situations where the user has specified that they prefer reduced motion, you can conditionally apply animations and transitions using the motion-safe and motion-reduce variants:

<!-- [!code classes:motion-safe:animate-spin] -->
<button type="button" class="bg-indigo-600 ..." disabled>
  <svg class="mr-3 size-5 motion-safe:animate-spin ..." viewBox="0 0 24 24">
    <!-- ... -->
  </svg>
  Processing
</button>

Using a custom value

<div class="[animation:wiggle_1s_ease-in-out_infinite] ..."></div>

Responsive design

<div class="animate-none md:animate-spin ..."></div>

Customizing your theme

Use your design tokens to populate --animate-* variables and reference them with animate-{name} (for example, animate-spin). You can also use arbitrary values with animate-[<value>] and custom properties with animate-(<custom-property>).
