CSS Animation Control: Pause and Resume

Pause and Resume Animations

The animation-play-state CSS property allows you to control the playback of CSS animations. It can be set to either "running" or "paused" to start or stop the animation.

Pausing an Animation

To pause an animation, set the animation-play-state property to "paused". This will immediately stop the animation at its current position.

Resuming an Animation

To resume a paused animation, set the animation-play-state property back to "running". This will continue the animation from where it was paused.

JavaScript Control

The animation-play-state property can be used in JavaScript to control animations dynamically. For example, you could pause an animation on user interaction and resume it later.
