Blinking text effect also be known as the flashing text effect can be easily created using HTML and CSS @keyframes rule and the opacity property.

HTML Code: In this section, we will create a basic div element which will have some text inside it.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content=
    "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Blinking Text</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
    <h2>Blink</h2>
  </div>
</body>
</html>


CSS Code: In this section, the designing of the text with the desired effect by using CSS @keyframes rule is implemented. The opacity property is set as shown below.




<style>
  body{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
  
div{
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
   
 h2{
   font-size: 5em;
   font-family: serif;
   color:#008000;
   text-align: center;
   animation: animate 1.5s linear infinite;
 
  
 @keyframes animate{
   0%{
     opacity: 0;
   }
   50%{
     opacity: 0.7;
   }
   100%{
     opacity: 0;
   }
 }
</style>


Final Code: It is the combination of the above two code sections.




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content=
        "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  
    <title>Blinking Text</title>
  
    <style>
        body {
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
  
        div {
            position: absolute;
            top: 50%;
            left: 50%;
            transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
        }
  
        h2 {
            font-size: 5em;
            font-family: serif;
            color: #008000;
            text-align: center;
            animation: animate 
                1.5s linear infinite;
        }
  
        @keyframes animate {
            0% {
                opacity: 0;
            }
  
            50% {
                opacity: 0.7;
            }
  
            100% {
                opacity: 0;
            }
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <div>
        <h2>Blink</h2>
    </div>
</body>
  
</html>
