The animation-fill-mode CSS property specifies how a CSS animation should apply styles to its target before and after it is executing. —Mozilla Developer Network
This CSS property sets the state of the end animation when the animation is not running. —David Walsh

33,856 PointsAt about 07:20 in this video, you can see how
backwardsaffects the animation. If you're not getting that, you can post your code here, and I'll take a look for you.Philip G
