Let's jump into Development part !

- HTML

Put a simple image inside of a div. This image will be the one we are going to make a float.

- CSS

Design your parent div with a flex (recommended way but totally optional).
Then make a @keyframe with an animation -

@keyframes floater {
  0%{transform: translateY(-10%);transition: ease 0.5s;}
  50%{transform: translateY(10%);transition: ease 0.5s;}
}

Now connect your animation with you're image class. And put default translateY to -10% and transition ease 0.5s for smooth animation

.float-area{
  height:100vh;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction:column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.floating-img{
  transform: translateY(-10%);
  animation: floater 1.5s infinite;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
  width: 80px;
  height:80px;
}
