Transform your designs with the Elementor CSS Transform Controls. Rotate, offset, scale, skew, and flip your page elements with ease. These controls can be located in any compatible widget in the Advanced Tab > Transform settings.

Note: Transform only works with widgets and not sections, columns, or inner sections at this time. 

Controls

The controls for each CSS Transform effect may be set for both Normal, and Hover states. When editing a hover state, you may enter a duration of the effect to reduce the jitter or for visuals. They may also be set per breakpoint in the Responsive settings by clicking on the device icon located at the label of each control.

Rotate

You may rotate your page elements easily by using the sliders or entering the values in the field based on degrees. Toggle the 3D Rotate to be able to rotate on a specific axis and change the perspective(px). The Rotate X and Y axis is to be used in combination with perspective to achieve the desired goal.
