How can I make CSS animations accessible?

To make CSS animations accessible, consider using the prefers-reduced-motion media query to respect users' preferences.

What is the prefers-reduced-motion media query?

It's a CSS media feature that allows you to detect if a user has requested reduced motion, helping you adjust animations accordingly.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it?

Sure! You can use it like this:

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .animated {
    animation: none;
  }
}

Are there any other tips for making animations more accessible?

Yes! Ensure that animations do not trigger seizures, provide sufficient contrast, and avoid excessive motion that can disorient users.
