About This Tool

The CSS Transition Generator lets you configure the transition shorthand property by setting the target property, duration, timing function, and delay. The interactive preview lets you hover a sample element to see the transition behavior before copying the code.

CSS transitions create smooth state changes between two CSS values, triggered by pseudo-classes like :hover, :focus, or class changes via JavaScript. Unlike animations, transitions require a trigger event.

How to Use

Select the CSS property to transition (or use all).
Set the duration — how long the transition takes (e.g., 0.3s).
Choose a timing function to control the acceleration curve.
Optionally add a delay before the transition starts.
Hover the preview box to see the effect live, then copy the CSS.

Use Cases

Developers use transitions for button hover effects, card scale-up, and smooth color changes in navigation links. Form designers use them for input focus styles. Sidebar components use width/transform transitions to slide in and out.

FAQ

What is the difference between transition and animation? — Transitions react to a state change (like hover); animations run automatically or on a loop using keyframes.
Can I transition multiple properties? — Yes. Click Add transition to add multiple property rules separated by commas.
Which properties can be transitioned? — Most properties with numeric values can be transitioned: opacity, color, transform, dimensions, and more. Properties like display cannot.
