Definition and Usage

The animation-fill-mode property specifies a style for the element when the animation is not playing (before it starts, after it ends, or both).

CSS animations do not affect the element before the first keyframe is played or after the last keyframe is played. The animation-fill-mode property can override this behavior.

Default value: none
Inherited: no
Animatable: no. Read about animatable
Version: CSS3
JavaScript syntax: object.style.animationFillMode="forwards" Try it

Browser Support

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

Numbers followed by -webkit-, -moz-, or -o- specify the first version that worked with a prefix.
