CSS Transform Builder

Compose a transform: chain from ten functions, set the transform origin on a 3×3 grid, and drag the handles on the preview to move, rotate and scale. Copy the finished CSS in one click.

Neutral values (4 of 10 functions active) are omitted from the generated CSS so the output stays readable.

Transform origin

transform-origin: 50% 50%;

Origin centre: the point that stays put while everything else moves around it.

Presets

Active chain

translateY(-6px)scaleX(1.1)scaleY(1.1)rotate(-8deg)

Applied in this order. Each function multiplies onto the one before it, so the sequence changes the result.

Generated CSS

.element {
  transform: translateY(-6px) scaleX(1.1) scaleY(1.1) rotate(-8deg);
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
  transition: transform 320ms ease;
}

Good to know

  • Order matters — translate then rotate differs from rotate then translate.
  • This tool always emits functions in the same fixed order for predictability.
  • 3D rotations need a perspective on the parent to look convincing; the preview has one.
  • Only transform and opacity animate cheaply on the compositor — prefer them over layout properties.

About this tool

This CSS transform builder composes a transform: chain from translate, scale, rotate, skew and 3D rotation functions, and shows the result live on a sample element. Drag the element itself to translate it, drag the violet knob to rotate and the dark knob to scale — the slider values follow the pointer, because the tool reads the element's computed matrix rather than guessing.

The transform origin is set on a 3×3 grid, which is the difference between a box rotating about its own centre and swinging around a corner. Everything is computed in your browser with plain arithmetic and the DOM's own matrix values — no libraries, no uploads and no network requests.
