Style perspective Property

Example

Set the perspective from where an element is viewed:

Try it Yourself »

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 perspectiveOrigin property, which allows you to change the bottom position of 3D elements.


Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.
