Remember that transform order matters
Rotate turns the element around its transform origin.
Scale changes visual size while the original layout box remains in place.
Skew slants the shape; combine it carefully with rotation for predictable results.
FAQ
CSS transform questions
Why does order matter?
Transform functions are applied in sequence. Reordering the same functions can change both the position and the final shape.
Does transform move surrounding content?
No. Transform changes visual rendering without changing normal document flow.
Where does the preview transform from?
TransformBox uses the center of the preview element as transform-origin, the browser default for most elements.
