Examples
Basic example
Use utilities like origin-center and origin-top-left to control where an element's transformations originate from:
html
<img class="origin-center rotate-45 ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
<img class="origin-top-left rotate-12 ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
<img class="origin-bottom -rotate-12 ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />Using a custom value
Use the origin-[<value>] syntax to set the transform origin based on a completely custom value:
html
<img class="origin-[33%_75%] ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />For CSS variables, you can also use the origin-(<custom-property>) syntax:
html
<img class="origin-(--my-origin) ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />This is just a shorthand for origin-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Responsive design
Prefix a transform-origin utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
html
<img class="origin-center md:origin-top ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
