Snake border animation CSS

Hello, guys in this tutorial we will create an animated snake border using HTML & CSS.

First, we need to create two files index.html and style.css then we need to do code for it.

Snake border animation Step:1

Add below code inside index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Rotating Border Animation</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="anim-border">
      <img src="rahul.jpg">
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
body {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    height: 100vh;
    background: #f1f2f3;
}
@-webkit-keyframes rotate {
  100% {
    transform: rotate(1turn);
  }
}
@keyframes rotate {
  100% {
    transform: rotate(1turn);
  }
}
.anim-border {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 0;
    width: 300px;
    height: auto;
    border-radius: 10px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 2rem;
}
.anim-border::before {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    z-index: -2;
    left: -50%;
    top: -50%;
    width: 200%;
    height: 200%;
    background-color: #b7a7ff;
