4 Simple CSS Transform Properties

CSS Transforms are a great way to add more interesting elements or animations to your website. You will be able to resize things, move them and even provide different perspectives for your website tags.


Youtube: CSS Transforms Tutorial

To learn some simple CSS transforms, we will be using its properties to modify the layout and sizing of an image. We will cover:

  • CSS transform rotate
  • CSS transform translate
  • CSS transform skew
  • CSS transform scale
/* Rotate in degrees */
transform:rotate(360deg);

/* Translate across X, Y axis */
transform:translate(50px, -50px);

/* Skew */
transform:skew(45deg);

/* Very complicated matrix transform of perspective */
transform:scale(1.5);

This should give you all the building blocks to understand how to transform CSS properties work. Let me know if there are any other items you wish me to cover.
