How to Use CSS Transform Generator with 2D/3D Effects

Create transform CSS in seconds. Follow these steps to generate cross-browser transform CSS and Tailwind code with live preview.

Choose 2D or 3D mode

In Configuration, switch between 2D Transform (translate, rotate, scale, skew) and 3D Transform (perspective, translate3d, rotateX/Y/Z, scale3d).

Adjust sliders and values

Use the sliders or number inputs (with units shown next to each field) to set translate (px), rotate (deg), scale, skew (deg), or perspective (px). The Live Preview updates instantly.

Copy CSS or Tailwind code

In the Generated CSS tab you get cross-browser prefixed -webkit-transform, -ms-transform, and transform. In the Tailwind CSS tab you get the arbitrary value. Click Copy and paste into your project.

Understand the Transform Generation in CSS & Tailwind

CSS transform lets you move, rotate, scale, or skew elements in 2D or 3D without changing document flow. Use translate(), rotate(), scale(), skew() for 2D; translate3d(), rotateX/Y/Z(), scale3d(), perspective() for 3D.

Example: HTML + CSS

HTML

<div class="card">Hover me</div>

CSS (cross-browser)

.card {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(5deg) scale(1.05);
  -ms-transform: rotate(5deg) scale(1.05);
  transform: rotate(5deg) scale(1.05);
  transition: transform 0.2s ease;
}
.card:hover {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg) scale(1.1);
  -ms-transform: rotate(0deg) scale(1.1);
  transform: rotate(0deg) scale(1.1);
}

Example: HTML + Tailwind

Arbitrary transform with Tailwind

<div class="transform-[rotate(5deg)_scale(1.05)] hover:transform-[rotate(0deg)_scale(1.1)] transition-transform duration-200">
  Hover me
</div>

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS transform?

The transform property lets you move, rotate, scale, or skew elements in 2D or 3D without changing the document flow. Transforms are GPU-friendly and great for animations.

When to use 3D transform?

Use 3D when you need perspective, rotateX/rotateY, translateZ, or scale3d. For flat movement and rotation in the plane, 2D transform is enough.
