Animate Icons

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

Icons can be animated to make the interaction feel more alive, such as rotating while hovering or tapping for notifications. Simple animation uses transitions, while repetitive movements use @keyframes and animation properties. Always provide motion reduction for sensitive users.

Key points

Transition is suitable for one-way changes when hover or focus.
@keyframes define the stage of animation, and then use it through the animation property.
Transform: rotate() and scale() produce light animation.
Animation-iteration-count: infinity is making animation repeat itself continuously.
