Definition and Usage

The animationFillMode property specifies what styles will apply for the element when the animation is not playing (when it is finished, or when it has a "delay").

By default, CSS animations will not affect the element you are animating until the first keyframe is "played", and then stops affecting it once the last keyframe has completed. The animationFillMode property can override this behavior.


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Numbers followed by Moz specify the first version that worked with a prefix.
