Try it Yourself »

More "Try it Yourself" examples below.


Definition and Usage

The scroll-snap-type specifies how the elements will snap into focus when you stop scrolling, and in what direction.

To acheive scroll snap behaviour, the scroll-snap-type property must be set on the parent element, and the scroll-snap-align property must be set on the child elements.

Default value: none
Inherited: no
Animatable: no. Read about animatable
Version: CSS3
JavaScript syntax: object.style.scrollSnapType="x mandatory" Try it

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Property
scroll-snap-type 69.0 79.0 99.0 11.0 56.0


CSS Syntax

scroll-snap-type: none|x|y|block|inline|both|mandatory|proximity|initial|inherit;

Property Values

Value Description
none No scroll snap effect. This is default
x Scroll snap effect is set on x-axis
y Scroll snap effect is set on y-axis
block Scroll snap effect is set on block direction
inline Scroll snap effect is set on inline direction
both Scroll snap effect is set on both x- and y-axis
mandatory Scroll will automatically move to snap point after scroll action is finished
proximity Similar to mandatory, but not as strict. Scroll will automatically move to snap point after scroll action is finished, but inbetween snap points there is an area without the snap effect. Depends on browser parameters.
initial Sets this property to its default value. Read about initial
inherit Inherits this property from its parent element. Read about inherit

More Examples

Snap behaviour in both directions

The scroll-snap-type property is set on both x- and y-axis:

#container > div {
  scroll-snap-type: both mandatory;
}

Snap behaviour with proximity

The scroll-snap-type property is set on both x- and y-axis with proximity behaviour. With this property value, if scrolling action stops right in the middle of two elements there is no snap:

#container > div {
  scroll-snap-type: both proximity;
}
