## Frequently asked questions

### What CSS properties does this tool generate?

It generates the @keyframes rule and the corresponding animation shorthand property including duration, timing function, delay, and iteration count.

### Can I control how many times the animation repeats?

Yes, you can set the iteration count to a specific number or choose 'infinite' for continuous looping.

### What is the purpose of the Fill Mode option?

Fill mode determines how the element looks before and after the animation runs, such as keeping the final state with 'forwards'.

### Is the generated code compatible with all browsers?
