CSS3 3D Transforms

3D Transforms

CSS3 allows you to format your elements using 3D transforms.
In this chapter you will learn about some of the 3D transform methods:
  • rotateX()
  • rotateY()
Click on the elements below, to see the difference between a 2D transform and a 3D transform:
2D rotate
3D rotate


Browser Support

PropertyBrowser Support
transform-webkit--webkit-
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera does not yet support the 3D transform methods.
Chrome and Safari requires the prefix -webkit-.

The rotateX() Method


With the rotateX() method, the element rotates around its X-axis at a given degree.
OperaSafariChromeFirefoxInternet Explorer

Example

div
{
transform: rotateX(120deg);
-webkit-transform: rotateX(120deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
}

The rotateY() Method


With the rotateY() method, the element rotates around its Y-axis at a given degree.
OperaSafariChromeFirefoxInternet Explorer

Example

div
{
transform: rotateY(130deg);
-webkit-transform: rotateY(130deg); /* Safari and Chrome */
}
