One of these cool effects is the rotating of HTML elements, which can really come in handy when trying to create unique designs or patterns with your CSS. With the transform property, any HTML object can be rotated. Let&#8217;s use the div below as an example, and say we want to rotate it by 20 degrees. Here&#8217;s how the code should look:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1988 aligncenter\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 8.57.56 AM\" src=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.56-AM.png\" width=\"614\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.56-AM.png 614w, https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.56-AM-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.56-AM-180x150.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ig-sh-1\" class=\"syntax_hilite\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"toolbar\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"view-different-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"view-different\">&lt; View <span>plain text<\/span> &gt;<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"language-name\">css<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<br clear=\"both\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"code\">\r\n\t\t<ol class=\"css\" style=\"font-family:monospace\"><li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">div<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#123;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">transform<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> rotate<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#040;<\/span>20deg<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#041;<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the results look like:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1987 aligncenter\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 8.57.42 AM\" src=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.42-AM.png\" width=\"744\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.42-AM.png 744w, https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.42-AM-300x243.png 300w, https:\/\/cssdeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Screen-Shot-2016-07-18-at-8.57.42-AM-180x146.png 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/>You can see that the square shape is now rotated on an angle. To rotate it more or less, you simply need to change the parameters that you pass through the rotate value.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the transform property to apply a 3D rotation to your HTML objects. By using rotateX, rotateY, or rotateZ instead of just &#8216;rotate&#8217;, \u00a0you can specify which axis you&#8217;d like to rotate your HTML element along. It&#8217;s also worth noting that the transform property isn&#8217;t universally supported by all browsers, so be sure to use the appropriate prefixes with this property to ensure cross-browser compatibility!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons \" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\" ><h3>Share and Enjoy !<\/h3><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"wpsr-counter wpsrc-sz-32px\" style=\"color:#000\"><span class=\"scount\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook,twitter,linkedin,pinterest,print,pdf\">0<\/span><\/span><small class=\"stext\">Shares<\/small><\/div><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-32px sr-circle sr-opacity sr-pad sr-count-1 sr-count-1\"><span class=\"sr-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share this on Facebook\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%20-%20%20\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Tweet this !\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Add this to LinkedIn\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Submit this to Pinterest\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" data-pin-custom=\"true\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"pinterest\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Print this article \"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fa fa-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pdf\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Convert to PDF\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSS3&#8217;s transform property is capable of applying a lot of cool effects to HTML objects.
