This tool lets you compose a 2D CSS transform visually with sliders and copy the resulting value. The transform property chains functions — translate(), rotate(), scale() and skew() — to move, turn, resize and slant an element. The live preview applies the transform to a sample box so you can dial it in before copying.

How it works

Each slider maps to one transform function, and the tool joins them into a single transform value in a consistent order: translate, rotate, scale, then skew. Functions left at their neutral value (translate 0, rotate 0, scale 1, skew 0) are omitted so the output stays clean. Note that the browser applies transform functions right-to-left, so the order matters — rotating then translating gives a different result from translating then rotating.

skewslants it0deg, 0deg

Example

Moving an element 20px right, rotating it 15 degrees and enlarging it 1.2× produces:

transform: translate(20px, 0px) rotate(15deg) scale(1.2);

The preview box shifts, tilts and grows accordingly. Everything runs in your browser.

Drag the sliders to move, rotate, scale and skew the sample box, and the tool builds a single clean transform value you can copy. Everything runs in your browser.
