Skew

Utilities for skewing elements with transform.

Quick reference

ClassDescription
skew-x-{amount}transform: skewX({amount})
skew-y-{amount}transform: skewY({amount})

Basic usage

Skewing an element

Use the skew-x-{amount} and skew-y-{amount} utilities to skew an element.

Using negative values

To use a negative skew value, prefix the class name with a dash to convert it to a negative value.

html
<img class="-skew-y-6 ..." />

Removing transforms

To remove all transforms on an element at once, use the transform-none utility.

html
<div class="scale-75 translate-x-16 skew-y-12 md:transform-none"></div>

Hardware acceleration

If your transition performs better when rendered by the GPU instead of the CPU, you can force hardware acceleration by adding the transform-gpu utility.

Use transform-cpu to force things back to the CPU if you need to undo this conditionally.

html
<div class="skew-y-12 transform-gpu"></div>

Applying conditionally

Hover, focus, and other states

Warp lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:skew-y-12 to only apply the skew-y-12 utility on hover.

html
<div class="hover:skew-y-12"></div>

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:skew-y-12 to apply the `skew-y-12´ utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="md:skew-y-12"></div>
