translate3d()

The translate3d() CSS function repositions an element in 3D space. Its result is a <transform-function> data type.

This transformation is characterized by a three-dimensional vector. Its coordinates define how much the element moves in each direction.

Syntax

translate3d(tx, ty, tz) 

Values

tx

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

ty

Is a <length> or <percentage> 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.

This transformation applies to the 3D space and can't be represented on the plane.

A translation is not a linear transformation in ℝ^3 and can't be represented using a Cartesian-coordinate matrix. ( 1 0 0 tx 0 1 0 ty 0 0 1 tz 0 0 0 1 )

Examples

Using a single axis translation

HTML
<div>Static</div> <div class="moved">Moved</div> <div>Static</div> 
CSS
div {   width: 60px;   height: 60px;   background-color: skyblue; }  .moved {   /* Equivalent to perspective(500px) translateX(10px) */   transform: perspective(500px) translate3d(10px, 0, 0px);   background-color: pink; } 
Result

Combining z-axis and x-axis translation

HTML
<div>Static</div> <div class="moved">Moved</div> <div>Static</div> 
CSS
div {   width: 60px;   height: 60px;   background-color: skyblue; }  .moved {   transform: perspective(500px) translate3d(10px, 0, 100px);   background-color: pink; }
