CSS Rotate Generator BETA

In CSS, the rotate transformation can refer to several different types of rotations, depending on the context. Commonly, it is used within the transform property to specify a 2D or 3D rotation for an HTML element.

Here's how to use the rotate transformation within the transform property:

2D Rotation:

To rotate an element in 2D space, you use the rotate function. It takes an angle value as an argument and rotates the element around its center point.

In this example, the .rotate-element class rotates the element by 45 degrees clockwise.

3D Rotation:

For 3D rotations, you use rotateX, rotateY, or rotateZ functions. These functions allow you to rotate an element around the X, Y, or Z-axis in a 3D space.

Here's a simple example of how to use perspective with a 3D-transformed element:

This example rotates the element around the X-axis by 45 degrees in 3D space.

Custom Transformation Functions:

You can also use the rotate transformation as part of custom transformation functions, which can include multiple transformations, such as scaling, translating, and rotating.

In this case, the .custom-transform-element class translates the element horizontally by 50 pixels, rotates it by 30 degrees, and scales it to 1.5 times its original size.

These transformation functions allow you to create various rotating effects for elements, both in 2D and 3D space, adding dynamic visual elements to your web page's design.
