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.
Initial value | 1 |
---|---|
Applies to | all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements |
Inherited | no |
Media | visual |
Computed value | as specified |
Animatable | no |
Canonical order | the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar |
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.
<number>

<single-animation-iteration-count> = infinite | <number>
