The skew()
CSS function defines a transformation that skews an element on the 2D plane. Its result is a <transform-function>
data type.
transform: skew(15deg, 15deg);
transform: skew(-0.06turn, 18deg);
transform: skew(0.312rad);
<section id="default-example">
<img
class="transition-all"
id="example-element"
src="/shared-assets/images/examples/firefox-logo.svg"
width="200" />
</section>
This transformation is a shear mapping (transvection) that distorts each point within an element by a certain angle in the horizontal and vertical directions. The effect is as if you grabbed each corner of the element and pulled them along a certain angle.
The coordinates of each point are modified by a value proportionate to the specified angle and the distance to the origin. Thus, the farther from the origin a point is, the greater the value added to it.
Syntax Valuesax
Is an <angle>
representing the angle to use to distort the element along the x-axis.
ay
Optional
Is an <angle>
representing the angle to use to distort the element along the y-axis. If not defined, its default value is 0
, resulting in a purely horizontal skewing.
[1 tan(ay) tan(ax) 1 0 0]
Formal syntax Examples Skewing on the x-axis only HTML
<div>Normal</div>
<div class="skewed">Skewed</div>
CSS
body {
margin: 20px;
}
div {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: skyblue;
}
.skewed {
transform: skew(10deg); /* Equal to skewX(10deg) */
background-color: pink;
}
Result Skewing on both axes HTML
<div>Normal</div>
<div class="skewed">Skewed</div>
CSS
body {
margin: 20px;
}
div {
width: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: skyblue;
}
.skewed {

background-color: pink;
}
