Make An SVG Animation Play On Click

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a toggle animation interactive on click, giving users control over when and how the animation plays without needing any developer assistance.

Step 1 - Open The Export Panel

Open the export panel and select SVG as the format for your animation. By default, animations play automatically as soon as the page loads, but for interactive elements like toggles or buttons, this behavior needs to be changed.

Step 2 - Set Animation To Start On Click

Under the animation settings, select the option to start the animation on click. This ensures that the animation only triggers when the user interacts with the element rather than playing immediately on page load.

Step 3 - Configure Second Click Behavior

Decide how the animation should behave on a second click. You can set it to play once each time the element is clicked, or configure it to reverse on the second click. This is especially useful for toggle animations that need to switch between two states.

Step 4 - Choose Alternative Second Click Options

Beyond reversing, the second click can also pause, restart, or continue the animation. Select the behavior that best fits the specific interaction required for your element.

Step 5 - Preview

Preview the exported file to ensure that the click interaction works exactly as intended. Make any necessary adjustments in the settings to achieve the desired interactive behavior.
