Transforms

Rotate

Utilities for rotating elements with transform.

Quick reference

ClassDescription
rotate-{deg}transform: rotate({deg})

Available values
{deg}: Accepts any degree (120 rotates 120 degrees with the clock).

Basic usage

Rotating an element

Use the rotate-{angle} utilities to rotate an element.

Using negative values

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

html
<img class="-rotate-45 ..." />

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-4 skew-y-3 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="rotate-45 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:rotate-45 to only apply the rotate-45 utility on hover.

html
<div class="hover:rotate-45"></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:rotate-45 to apply the rotate-45 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="md:rotate-45"></div>
