CSS - Animation-iteration-count

The CSS attribute animation-iteration-count specifies how many cycles an animation sequence should run through before it comes to a halt.

Using the shorthand property animation is a convenient way to define all animation-related properties at the same time.

The animation-iteration-count property accepts multiple values separated by commas.

Possible values

  • infinite - The animation will continue indefinitely without stopping.

  • <number> - By default, the animation is repeated once, which is defined by the animation-iteration-count property. You can specify non-integer values such as 0.5 to play a partial section of animation cycle. Negative values are not valid for this property.

Syntax

animation-iteration-count = <single-animation-iteration-count>#  
<single-animation-iteration-count> = infinite | <number [0,∞]>

Applies to

All the HTML elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.

Examples

In this example, the property "animation-iteration-count" is set to "4", which defines the number of repetitions of the animation sequence.

This property specifies the number of iterations the animation runs through before it is stopped.

In this example, the box element moves vertically up and down four times based on the specified iteration count of the animation.
