The transform property in CSS is used to change the coordinate space of the visual formatting model. This is used to add effects like skew, rotate, translate, etc on elements.
Try It:
Rotate 45deg
Scale 1.2
Translate 10px, 10px
Skew 30deg, 20deg
Currently Active Property:
transform: rotate(45deg);
Syntax:
transform: none|transform-functions|initial|inherit;
Note: The transformations can be of 2-D or 3-D type.
Values:
- none: No transformation takes place.
- matrix(x, x, x, x, x, x): It specifies a matrix transformation of 2-D type. It takes 6 values.
- matrix3d(x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x): It specifies a matrix transformation of 3-D type. It takes 9 values.
- translate(x, y): It specifies a translation across the X and Y axes.
- translate3d(x, y, z): It specifies a translation across the X, Y, and Z axes.
- translateX(x): It specifies the translation across the X-axis only.
- translateY(y): It specifies the translation across the Y-axis only.
- translateZ(z): It specifies the translation across the Z-axis only.
- rotate(angle): It specifies the angle of rotation.
- rotateX(angle): It specifies the rotation along with the X-axis corresponding to the angle of rotation.
- rotateY(angle): It specifies the rotation along with the Y-axis corresponding to the angle of rotation.
- rotateZ(angle): It specifies the rotation along with the Z-axis corresponding to the angle of rotation.
- scale(x, y): It specifies the scale transformation along the X and Y axes.
- scaleX(x): It specifies the scale transformation along the X-axis.
- scaleY(y): It specifies the scale transformation along the Y-axis.
- scaleZ(z): It specifies the scale transformation along the Z-axis.
- scale3d(x, y, z): It specifies the scale transformation along the X, Y, and Z axes.
- skew(angle, angle): It specifies the skew transformation along the X and Y axes corresponding to the skew angles.
- skewX(angle): It specifies the skew transformation along with the X-axis corresponding to the skew angle.
- skewY(angle): It specifies the skew transformation along with the Y-axis corresponding to the skew angle.
- skewZ(angle): It specifies the skew transformation along with the Z-axis corresponding to the skew angle.
- perspective(x): It specifies the perspective of an element. Refer: Perspective property
- initial: It initializes the element to its default value.
- inherit: It inherits the value from its parent element.
Example 1: Without the transform property.
