How to Animate Gradients using CSS


I want to move my gradient that has multiple colors smoothly but the problem is that the animation is not smooth. It just changes its position at every step.

<style>
  .animated {
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    animation: gra 5s infinite;
    animation-direction: reverse;
    -webkit-animation: gra 5s infinite;
    -webkit-animation-direction: reverse;
    animation-timing-function: linear;
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
  }
  
  @keyframes gra {
    0% {
      background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0%, #ff670f), color-stop(21%, #ff670f), color-stop(56%, #ffffff), color-stop(88%, #0eea57));
      background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 21%, #ffffff 56%, #0eea57 88%);
      background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 21%, #ffffff 56%, #0eea57 88%);
    }
    50% {
      background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0%, #ff670f), color-stop(10%, #ff670f), color-stop(40%, #ffffff), color-stop(60%, #0eea57));
      background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 10%, #ffffff 40%, #0eea57 60%);
      background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 10%, #ffffff 40%, #0eea57 60%);
    }
    100% {
      background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0%, #ff670f), color-stop(5%, #ff670f), color-stop(10%, #ffffff), color-stop(40%, #0eea57));
      background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 5%, #ffffff 10%, #0eea57 40%);
      background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff670f 0%, #ff670f 5%, #ffffff 10%, #0eea57 40%);
    }
  }
</style>
<div class="animated">
  <h1>Hello</h1>
</div>

Is it possible to accomplish without using jQuery?

  • Please try this code:

    #gradient

        height:300px;
        width:300px;
        border:1px solid black;
        font-size:30px;
        background: linear-gradient(130deg, #ff7e00, #ffffff, #5cff00);
        background-size: 200% 200%;
    
        -webkit-animation: Animation 5s ease infinite;
        -moz-animation: Animation 5s ease infinite;
        animation: Animation 5s ease infinite;
    }
    
    @-webkit-keyframes Animation {
        0%{background-position:10% 0%}
        50%{background-position:91% 100%}
        100%{background-position:10% 0%}
    }
    @-moz-keyframes Animation {
        0%{background-position:10% 0%}
        50%{background-position:91% 100%}
        100%{background-position:10% 0%}
    }
    @keyframes Animation { 
        0%{background-position:10% 0%}
        50%{background-position:91% 100%}
        100%{background-position:10% 0%}
    }
    <html>
    <div id="gradient">

    </div>
    </html>
