Transforms

Move, turn, scale and skew, with the order rule that surprises everybody.

It runs entirely in this browser tab: the CSS you paste is never uploaded, and the preview is drawn from the same numbers the rule carries rather than rendered by the browser — which is why a tool whose effect only exists in a compositor says so instead of drawing one.

Settings

Across
A number from -400 to 400.
Down
A number from -400 to 400.
Turn
A number from -360 to 360.
Size
A number from 10 to 300.
Skew
A number from -80 to 80.
Turn around
Choices: Centre, Top left, Top right, Bottom left, Bottom right.
In three dimensions
Turning about the vertical axis needs a perspective, or it just squashes.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text into the box above, or open a file.
  2. Adjust the settings beside it until the result is what you wanted.
  3. Copy the result, or save it as a file. The result updates as you type.

Questions

Is what I paste uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole application is carried as WebAssembly and runs on your own device. There is no server to send a stylesheet to, and no tool here makes a network request while it works.
Is the preview what my browser will actually draw?
For a colour, a shape and a curve, yes — it is drawn from the same numbers the rule carries. For anything a browser's compositor does against the page behind it — a backdrop filter, a blend mode, a scrollbar — no, and that tool says so on its own result rather than showing you an approximation.
Why does a size come out as 1.125rem and not 1.1250000000000002rem?
Because none of the arithmetic is done in binary floating point. Every length here is an exact decimal, so a conversion ends where it should: 18px is 1.125rem and 24px is 18pt, with no run of nines and no stray four at the twelfth place.
Can I use these rules without attribution?
Yes. What comes out is CSS — a declaration is not a work with an owner, and nothing here writes a comment into your stylesheet about where it came from.
