To learn some simple CSS transforms, we will be using its properties to modify the layout and sizing of an image. We will cover:

  • CSS transform rotate
  • CSS transform translate
  • CSS transform skew
  • CSS transform scale
/* Rotate in degrees */
transform:rotate(360deg);

/* Translate across X, Y axis */
transform:translate(50px, -50px);

/* Skew */
transform:skew(45deg);

/* Very complicated matrix transform of perspective */
transform:scale(1.5);
