What does transition-duration specify?

Understanding transition-duration in CSS

The transition-duration property in CSS defines how long a transition animation should take to complete. It specifies the time it takes for a property to change from its initial value to its final value during a state change, such as when an element is hovered or focused.

Syntax Example

The value can be specified in seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms). For example, transition-duration: 0.5s; means the transition will last half a second.

CSS Example

In this example, when you hover over the box, it scales and rotates smoothly over one second. The transition-duration determines how long this transformation takes to complete.

You can define multiple durations for multiple properties by separating them with commas, matching each duration with its respective property.

Example with Multiple Properties
Key Takeaways
  1. 1

    transition-duration sets how long a transition runs.

  2. 2

    Values are specified in seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms).

  3. 3

    It can be combined with other transition properties like transition-timing-function and transition-delay for full control.
