Summary
The animation-iteration-count CSS property defines the number of times an animation cycle should be played before stopping.
It is often convenient to use the shorthand property animation to set all animation properties at once.

| Inherited | no |
| Media | visual |
| Computed value | as specified |
| Animatable | no |

Syntax
animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-iteration-count: 3; animation-iteration-count: 2.3; animation-iteration-count: 2, 0, infinite;
Values
infinite- The animation will repeat forever.

[1] In addition to the unprefixed support, Gecko 44.0 (Firefox 44.0 / Thunderbird 44.0 / SeaMonkey 2.41) added support for a -webkit prefixed version of the property for web compatibility reasons behind the preference layout.css.prefixes.webkit, defaulting to false. Since Gecko 49.0 (Firefox 49.0 / Thunderbird 49.0 / SeaMonkey 2.46) the preference defaults to true.
