You need to specifiy 100% of something..in this case, the html/body

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
}
div {
  background: tomato;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  -webkit-animation: animateThis 1s ease-in;
  -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}
@-webkit-keyframes animateThis {
  0% {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
  }
  100% {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }
}

<div></div>
