translate3d()

The translate3d() CSS function moves the position of the element in the 3D space. This transformation is characterized by a 3-dimension vector whose coordinates define how much it moves in each direction.

Syntax

translate3d(tx, ty, tz)

Values

tx

Is a <length> representing the abscissa of the translating vector.

ty

Is a <length> representing the ordinate of the translating vector.

tz

Is a <length> representing the z component of the translating vector. It can't be a <percentage> value; in that case the property containing the transform is considered invalid.

Examples

Using a single axis translation

HTML

<p>foo</p>
<p class="transformed">bar</p>
<p>foo</p>

CSS

p { 
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  background-color: teal;
}

.transformed {
  transform: perspective(500px) translate3d(10px,0px,0px);
  /* equivalent to perspective(500px) translateX(10px)*/
  background-color: blue;
}

Result

Combining z-axis and x-axis translation

HTML

<p>foo</p>
<p class="transformed">bar</p>
<p>foo</p>

CSS

p { 
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  background-color: teal;
}

.transformed {
  transform: perspective(500px) translate3d(10px,0px,100px);
  background-color: blue;
}
