Generated CSS — cross-browser
/* Cross-browser: transform none */ -webkit-transform: none; -ms-transform: none; transform: none;
Tailwind CSS — cross-browser
className="transform-none"
Class: transform-none. Tailwind uses Autoprefixer in build for cross-browser support.
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>Top Features of CSS Transform Generator
Our CSS Transform Generator gives you everything you need to create 2D and 3D transforms for cards, buttons, and animations.
2D & 3D controls
Toggle between 2D (translate, rotate, scale, skew) and 3D (perspective, translate3d, rotateX/Y/Z, scale3d). Units (px, deg) shown next to each input.
Live preview
See the transform update in real time. 2D mode shows a flat box; 3D mode shows a cube you can rotate with the sliders.
Slider + input
Each value has a slider and a number input with the unit (px, deg) displayed next to the text box for clarity.
Cross-browser CSS & Tailwind
Get prefixed CSS (-webkit-transform, -ms-transform, transform) and Tailwind arbitrary value. Tailwind's Autoprefixer handles prefixes in build.
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.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The CSS Transform Generator runs in your browser. No sign-up or server uploads; all processing is local and free.
