How can I create a looping animation in Webflow that starts on page load and repeats infinitely?

To create a looping animation in Webflow that starts on page load and repeats infinitely, use the Webflow Interactions panel to set up a continuous animation.

1. Open the Webflow Interactions Panel

• Select the element you want to animate.
• Go to the Interactions panel (lightning bolt icon).

2. Create a Page Load Animation

• Click + under Page Trigger and select Page Load.
• Choose When Page Starts Loading.
• Click Start an Animation and Create a New Timed Animation.

3. Set Up the Animation Steps

• Add animation steps like Move, Rotate, Scale, Opacity, etc.
• Define initial and final states for your animation.
• Adjust duration (e.g., 2–5 seconds) for a smooth effect.

4. Enable Looping

• Check the Loop option at the bottom of the interaction settings.
• Use Easing settings like Linear for a seamless loop or Ease In-Out for a smoother flow.

5. Save and Preview

• Click Save and test the animation using Webflow’s Preview mode.
• If needed, tweak durations and easings for a better effect.

Summary

To create an infinite looping animation in Webflow, use a Page Load trigger, set up animation steps with appropriate easing, and enable the Loop option. This ensures the animation automatically starts and repeats continuously.
