Interactive CSS Cubic-Bézier Curve Visualizer & Keyframe Easing Studio
Design silky-smooth CSS transition curves and keyframe animations with interactive Bézier control handles. Compare custom ease curves against linear, ease-in-out, anticipation overshoot, and spring bounce dynamics with real-time UI previews.Documentation & FAQs ↓
Drag the Orange (P1) and Blue (P2) control anchors or use coordinate sliders below.

Step-by-Step Instructions
4 Steps to CompletionDrag the red (P1) and blue (P2) control handles on the coordinate grid to shape your acceleration and deceleration curves.
Adjust animation duration (e.g. 200ms to 1200ms) and toggle motion direction (translate, scale, opacity, or rotate).
Click 'Play Animation' to inspect the movement velocity curve, acceleration profile, and side-by-side motion comparisons.
Copy the generated CSS cubic-bezier(x1, y1, x2, y2) function directly into your stylesheet or design system tokens.
Practical Use Cases & Real-World Scenarios
Dual-Handle Interactive Vector Bézier Canvas
Drag control handles P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2) with live mathematical clamping between 0 and 1 on the time axis while unlocking unbounded spatial overshoot.
Side-by-Side Motion Comparison Track
Test your custom curve simultaneously alongside CSS presets (ease, linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out) on physical UI test cars, cards, and modal components.
Physics-Based Anticipation & Elastic Bounce Profiles
Includes fine-tuned presets for Apple spring feel, dramatic bounce overshoot, snappy drawer menus, and buttery modal dialog fades.
Copy-Ready Production CSS & Tailwind Code
Generates one-click CSS transition: all 400ms cubic-bezier(...) snippets, Tailwind CSS config extend properties, and Web Animations API timing objects.
