Translate

    Utilities for translating elements with transform.

    Show all classes

    Use the and translate-y-{amount} utilities to translate an element.

    Using negative values

    To use a negative translate value, prefix the class name with a dash to convert it to a negative value.

    1. <img class="-translate-y-6 ...">

    To remove all of the transforms on an element at once, use the transform-none utility:

    1. <div class="scale-75 translate-x-4 skew-y-3 md:transform-none">
    2.   <!-- ... -->
    3. </div>

    Hardware acceleration

    If your transition performs better when rendered by the GPU instead of the CPU, you can force hardware acceleration by adding the transform-gpu utility:

    Use transform-cpu to force things back to the CPU if you need to undo this conditionally.

    Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:translate-y-12 to only apply the translate-y-12 utility on hover.

    1. <div class="hover:translate-y-12">
    2.   <!-- ... -->

    For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

    Breakpoints and media queries

    You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:translate-y-12 to apply the translate-y-12 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

    1. <div class="md:translate-y-12">
    2.   <!-- ... -->

    To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, and other media query modifiers.

    tailwind.config.js

    Alternatively, you can customize just the translate scale by editing theme.translate or theme.extend.translate in your tailwind.config.js file.

    tailwind.config.js

    2.   theme: {
    3.     extend: {
    4.       translate: {
    5.         '4.25': '17rem',
    6.       }
    7.     }
    8.   }
    9. }

    Learn more about customizing the default theme in the documentation.

    Arbitrary values

    If you need to use a one-off translate value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

    1. <div class="translate-y-[17rem]">
    2. </div>
