CSS animations and transitions for smooth interactions

CSS transitions animate property changes with transition: property duration timing-function delay. I use transition-property to specify which properties animate. The timing-function controls acceleration with values like ease, ease-in, ease-out, cubic-bezier(). CSS animations use @keyframes with percentage-based waypoints. The animation shorthand sets name, duration, timing-function, delay, iteration-count, direction. Using animation-fill-mode controls styles before and after animation. The transform property animates efficiently with hardware acceleration. Performance-friendly properties include transform, opacity, and filter. I use will-change sparingly to hint at animations. The prefers-reduced-motion media query respects accessibility preferences.
