Animations

Bootstrap animations

Note: This documentation is for an older version of Bootstrap (v.4). A newer version is available for Bootstrap 5. We recommend migrating to the latest version of our product - Material Design for Bootstrap 5.
Go to docs v.5

Bootstrap animations are illusions of motions for web elements. We offer 70+ animations generated by CSS only, all work properly on every browser.

Live preview

Note: Do not add the "infinite" class if you do not want the animation to be looped.

HTML


          <img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/logo/mdb-transparent-250px.webp" class="animated bounce infinite" alt="Transparent MDB Logo" id="animated-img1">

Step 3 (additionally): You may also want to include slow, fast or delay classes or the infinite class for an infinite loop.

Select an option

Add one of the following classes:

.fast
.faster
.slow
.slower
.delay-1s
.delay-2s
.delay-3s
.delay-4s
.delay-5s
.infinite

Advanced usage

You can do a whole bunch of other stuff with animations when you combine it with jQuery or add your own CSS rules.

1. Dynamically add animations using jQuery with ease:

JavaScript


        $('#yourElement').addClass('animated bounceOutLeft');

2. You can also detect when an animation ends:

JavaScript


        $('#yourElement').one('webkitAnimationEnd mozAnimationEnd MSAnimationEnd oanimationend animationend', doSomething);

Note: jQuery.one() is used when you want to execute the event handler at most once. More information here.

3. You can also extend jQuery to add a function that does it all for you:


        #yourElement {
          -vendor-animation-duration: 3s;
          -vendor-animation-delay: 2s;
          -vendor-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
        }

Note: be sure to replace "vendor" in the CSS code with the applicable vendor prefixes (webkit, moz, etc).

Reveal Animations When Scrolling

Thanks to MDB you can easily launch an animation on page scroll.

Basic usage

Step 1: Initialize the script for animations when scrolling.

JavaScript


        $( document ).ready(function() {
          new WOW().init();
        });

Step 2: Add the CSS class .wow to an HTML element: it will be invisible until the user scrolls to reveal it.

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow">

Step 3: Pick an animation style from the list of animations , then add the CSS class to the HTML element.

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow fadeInUp">

Adding multiple animations via jQuery

If you want to use the same animation throughout the entire page, you can use jQuery addClass() to make it once, then reuse it.

JavaScript


        $( ".wow" ).addClass( "fadeInUp" );

visibility: hidden;

Add visibility: hidden to the wow if you want to animate the element which is visible immediately after page load. Thanks to that you avoid reloading the content after javascript has loaded.


        .wow {
          visibility: hidden;
        }

Options

Use one of the custom attributes below to change the behavior of the animations upon a scrolling.

data-wow-duration: Change the animation duration
data-wow-delay: Delay before the animation starts
data-wow-iteration: Number of times the animation will be repeated

HTML


        <img src="..." class="wow fadeInUp" data-wow-delay="0.6s">

    'none' means 'this component doesn't require anything except core files'

    A file wrapped by `< >` means that this file make the base component prettier but it isn't necessary for the proper working
