property lets you modify the origin for transformations of an element. For example, the transform-origin of the rotate() function is the centre of rotation.

- Animatable
- Yes
- CSS Version

- JavaScript syntax
- object.style.transformOrigin
Syntax
transform-origin: [ left | center | right | top | bottom | <percentage> | <length> ] | [ left | center | right | <percentage> | <length> ] [ top | center | bottom | <percentage> | <length> ] <length>? | [ center | [ left | right ] ] && [ center | [ top | bottom ] ] <length>?
Values
- <percentage>A percentage for the horizontal offset is relative to the width of the bounding box. A percentage for the vertical offset is relative to height of the bounding box. The value for the horizontal and vertical offset represent an offset from the top left corner of the bounding box.
- <length>A length value gives a fixed length as the offset. The value for the horizontal and vertical offset represent an offset from the top left corner of the bounding box.
- topComputes to '0%' for the vertical position.
- rightComputes to '100%' for the horizontal position.
- bottomComputes to '100%' for the vertical position.
- leftComputes to '0%' for the horizontal position.
- centerComputes to '50%' ('left 50%') for the horizontal position if the horizontal position is not otherwise specified, or '50%' ('top 50%') for the vertical position if it is.
