What CSS transform functions are commonly used?
translate() moves an element, scale() resizes it, rotate() spins it, and skew() distorts it, all without affecting the document flow (unlike changing top/left/width). transform-origin controls the pivot point, and GPU-accelerated transforms are more performant than animating layout properties.
Example
.card:hover {
transform: translateY(-8px) scale(1.03) rotate(1deg);
transition: transform 0.2s ease;
}
