Utilities for translating elements with transform.

Quick reference

ClassDescription
translate-x-{amount}translateX({amount})
translate-y-{amount}translateY({amount})

Available values

Basic usage

Translating an element

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

html
<img class="translate-y-32 ..." />
<img class="-translate-y-32 ..." />
<img class="translate-x-32 ..." />

Using negative values

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

html
<img class="-translate-y-8 ..." />

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off translate value, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

html
<div class="translate-y-[75]"></div>

Removing transforms

To remove all transforms on an element at once, use the transform-none utility. This can be useful when you want to remove transforms conditionally, such as on hover or at a particular breakpoint.

html
<div class="scale-75 translate-x-16 skew-y-32 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="translate-y-8 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:translate-y-16 to only apply the translate-y-16 utility on hover.

html
<div class="hover:translate-y-16"></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:translate-y-16 to apply the `translate-y-16? utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="md:translate-y-16"></div>
