Bounce In Tooltip: Pure CSS Tooltip

Bounce In Tooltip

The bell rings and a tooltip bounces up out of it, squashing as it lands. One keyframe animation plays each time it opens, with the scale anchored at the arrow.

Also known as: bouncing tooltip css, tooltip bounce animation, notification bell tooltip.

Customizing this snippet

Color: set --tip-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
Base size: set --tip-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.
Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
