CSS3 perspective Property

CSS Reference Complete CSS Reference

Example

Set the perspective from where an element is viewed:

div
{
perspective: 500;
-webkit-perspective: 500; /* Safari and Chrome */
}

Try it yourself »

Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The perspective property is not supported in any browser.

Chrome and Safari support an alternative, the -webkit-perspective property.

Definition and Usage

The perspective property defines how many pixels a 3D element is placed from the view. This property allows you to change the perspective on how 3D elements are viewed.

When defining the perspective property for an element, it is the CHILD elements that get the perspective view, NOT the element itself.

Note: The perspective property only affects 3D transformed elements!

Tip: Use this property together with the perspective-origin property, which allows you to change the bottom position of 3D elements.

For Chrome and Safari users: To better understand the perspective property, view a demo.

Default value: none
Inherited: no
Version: CSS3
JavaScript syntax: object.style.perspective=500

Syntax

Property Value Description
number How many pixels the element is placed from the view
