CSS 3D Transforms

CSS also supports 3D transformations.

Mouse over the elements below to see the difference between a 2D and a 3D transformation:

2D rotate
3D rotate

In this chapter you will learn about the following CSS property:

  • transform

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Property
transform 36.0
 10.0
 16.0
 9.0
 23.0

CSS 3D Transforms Methods

With the CSS transform property you can use the following 3D transformation methods:

  • rotateX()
  • rotateY()
  • rotateZ()

The rotateX() Method

Rotate X

The rotateX() method rotates an element around its X-axis at a given degree:

Example

#myDiv {
  transform: rotateX(150deg);
}
Try it Yourself »

The rotateY() Method

Rotate Y

The rotateY() method rotates an element around its Y-axis at a given degree:

Example

#myDiv {
  transform: rotateY(150deg);
}
Try it Yourself »

The rotateZ() Method

The rotateZ() method rotates an element around its Z-axis at a given degree:

Example

#myDiv {
  transform: rotateZ(90deg);
}
Try it Yourself »

Test Yourself With Exercises

Exercise:

With the transform property, rotate the <div> element 150deg around its X-axis..

<style>
div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: lightblue;
  border: 1px solid black;
  : ;
}
</style>

<body>
  <div>This is a div</div>
</body>
