CSS Transform Generator

Visually build a CSS transform declaration with translate, rotate, scale, and skew controls, plus a live preview and transform-origin picker.

Translate X: 0px
Translate Y: 0px
Rotate: 0deg
Scale: 1.00
Skew X: 0deg
Skew Y: 0deg
CSS Output
transform: translate(0px, 0px) rotate(0deg) scale(1) skew(0deg, 0deg); transform-origin: center;

How to Use the CSS Transform Generator

Adjust the sliders for translateX, translateY, rotate, scale, skewX, and skewY to build a CSS transform declaration, and pick a transform-origin to control the point the rotation and scaling pivot around. The colored box updates live so you can see exactly how the transform looks before copying the final CSS into your stylesheet.

Example

Setting rotate to 15deg and scale to 1.2 with a center origin produces:
transform: translate(0px, 0px) rotate(15deg) scale(1.2) skew(0deg, 0deg);
transform-origin: center;

Common Use Cases

  • Building a hover-effect transform for a card or button visually before writing CSS.
  • Fine-tuning the exact rotation or skew angle for a design element.
  • Experimenting with transform-origin to see how it changes rotation and scaling behavior.

FAQs

  • What does transform-origin actually change? It sets the fixed point that rotation and scaling pivot around — the default is the center of the element, but setting it to "top left" for example makes the element rotate and scale around its top-left corner instead.
  • Can I combine multiple transforms at once? Yes — this tool always outputs all six transform functions together in one declaration, so translate, rotate, scale, and skew all apply simultaneously, matching how the CSS transform property actually works.
  • Will this work in all browsers? The CSS transform property is supported in all modern browsers, though very old browsers may need vendor prefixes like -webkit-transform for full compatibility.
