Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The repeatCount attribute indicates the number of times an animation will take place.

You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:

Example

html
<svg viewBox="0 0 220 150" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100">
    <animate
      attributeType="XML"
      attributeName="y"
      from="0"
      to="50"
      dur="1s"
      repeatCount="5" />
  </rect>
  <rect x="120" y="0" width="100" height="100">
    <animate
      attributeType="XML"
      attributeName="y"
      from="0"
      to="50"
      dur="1s"
      repeatCount="indefinite" />
  </rect>
</svg>
