CSS skew
Created By: chatGPT
The CSS skew function allows you to distort an element along the X or Y axis, creating a slanted effect. This can add a unique touch to your layout, emphasizing specific sections or elements on the page. You can use the transform property along with skewX and skewY transformations.
div {
transform: skewX(20deg);
}
You can also combine both skewX and skewY to achieve a more dynamic transformation. By adjusting the angles, you can play around with the intensity of the skew effect.
div {
transform: skewX(20deg) skewY(10deg);
}
In addition to skewing individual elements, you can use this effect in animations. By animating the skew transformation, you create an engaging visual effect for users. Utilizing @keyframes, you can define start and end points for the skew.
@keyframes skewAnimation {
from {
transform: skewX(0deg);
}
to {
transform: skewX(20deg);
}
}
div {
animation: skewAnimation 0.5s ease-in-out infinite alternate;
}
It’s important to note that skewing can affect the layout of surrounding elements because it changes the ways in which elements overlap and align with one another. Make sure to test the skew effect across different browsers and devices for consistency.
body {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.skewed {
transform: skewY(15deg);
}
