Use zoom in with a clear purpose

A zoom entrance grows into its final size. Large scale changes can be uncomfortable and can make text briefly hard to read. Reduce the scale difference, shorten the effect, and keep a static reduced-motion presentation.

Understand the example

The original example uses animation: zoomIn 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) both. The animation declaration connects an element to a named keyframe sequence and defines its timing. Copy both the element rule and the matching keyframes when trying the effect in another page.

Change one value at a time in the editor above: first duration, then easing, then the distance or scale in a keyframe. Compare the resting position with the most extreme frame. Keep the smallest effect that explains your intended change.

Before you publish

Provide a reduced-motion alternative and leave important content visible when motion is removed. For a loading state, stop the effect on success or failure and keep a written status. For an entrance or exit, implement the actual application state and focus behavior separately.

The preview is isolated from the rest of this page, and you can pause it while inspecting the code. Test the final result in your own layout. Read the CSS animation reference or build a custom keyframe sequence.
