Property Values

The following table describes the values of this property.

Value Description
none This is default value. Specifies that no transform should be applied.
translate(tx,ty) Moves the element by the given amount along the X and Y-axis.
translate3d(tx,ty,tz) Moves the element by the given amount along the X, Y & Z-axis.
translateX(tx) Moves the element by the given amount along the X-axis.
translateY(ty) Moves the element by the given amount along the Y-axis.
translateZ(tz) Moves the element by the given amount along the Z-axis.
rotate(a) Rotates the element by the specified angle around the origin of the element, as defined by the transform-origin property.
rotate3d(x,y,z, a) Rotates the element in 3D space by the angle specified in the last parameter, around the [x,y,z] direction vector.
rotateX(a) Rotates the element by the given angle around the X-axis.
rotateY(a) Rotates the element by the given angle around the Y-axis.
rotateZ(a) Rotates the element by the given angle around the Z-axis.
scale(sx,sy) Scale the width and height of the element up or down by the given amount. The function scale(1,1) has no effect.
scale3d(sx,sy,sz) Scales the element by the given amount along the X, Y and Z-axis. The function scale3d(1,1,1) has no effect.
scaleX(sx) Scales the element along the X-axis.
scaleY(sy) Scales the element along the Y-axis.
scaleZ(sz) Scales the element along the Z-axis.
skew(ax,ay) Skews the element by the given angle along the X and Y-axis.
skewX(ax) Skews the element by the given angle along the X-axis.
skewY(ay) Skews the element by the given angle along the Y-axis.
matrix(n,n,n,n,n,n) Specifies a 2D transformation in the form of a transformation matrix comprised of the six values.
matrix(n,n,n,n,n,n, n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n) Specifies a 3D transformation in the form of a 4×4 transformation matrix of 16 values.
perspective(length) Defines a perspective view for a 3D transformed element. In general, as the value of this function increases, the element will appear further away from the viewer.
initial Sets this property to its default value.
inherit If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property.
revert Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property
revert-layer Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers.
