Have you ever been mesmerized by those stunning 3D parallax hover effects on cards? They look complex, right? Well, I thought so too, until I came across a simple CodePen demo that showed how easy it is to create one. Do you want to learn it too? Let’s dive in-
Some basics
To achieve the 3D effect, we need to know couple of things first. Those are-
- Perspective: The perspective property controls how far the object appears from the viewer. A lower value creates a stronger, more dramatic 3D effect, while a higher value makes the effect more subtle.
- Transform: The transform property lets you apply 2D or 3D changes to an element. You can use it to rotate, scale, move, skew, and more!
Let’s jump to code
Check the final result first, so you will understand what we are trying to build. Hover over the card and see how it looks?
Now, let’s see how it works. I won’t explain every TailwindCSS class here. We will just discuss about the main classes which are doing the effect. First, let’s see the main card’s div’s classes-
<div> <p>Look at this part here-<br> </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">[transform:perspective(800px)_rotateY(10deg)] hover:[transform:perspective(800px)_rotateY(-10deg)]
We are doing two things here. At first, we are rotating the card by its Y axis by 10 degrees. And, also setting the perspective to 800px. As a result, the normal state of the card looks like the image below. It is slightly rotated to the right. And, as we have applied some perspective, you can see that the right side of the card is bit skewed. That’s how real 3D world works!
We can tweak the perspective to see the changes in the card. And, you will also get an idea how the perspective works-
This is how it looks if we change the perspective to 100px. The more we lower the perspective value, the more closer the content is - remember?
And, this is what we get if we set the perspective to 10000px. It is so far that it seems like there’s no rotation at all!
Now, we will see how it is having a 3D illusion when we hover it. And, you will be surprised to see that it’s so easy to fool our eye!
See this part of the code of the img-
<img> <p>When hovering over the card, the image slides 2.5rem to the left, creating a dynamic effect. For this, we are using Group modifer of TailwindCSS. And, that’s it! We will have a 3D image rotating card.</p> <p>Now it’s your turn! Experiment with these classes, tweak the perspective, or combine this effect with other TailwindCSS utilities to create something unique. Don’t forget to share your creations in the comments or on social media!</p> <p>You can also find me here- </p>

What is 'render-blocking CSS'?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:42 AM
CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

What is Autoprefixer and how does it work?
Jul 02, 2025 am 01:15 AM
Autoprefixer is a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS attributes based on the target browser scope. 1. It solves the problem of manually maintaining prefixes with errors; 2. Work through the PostCSS plug-in form, parse CSS, analyze attributes that need to be prefixed, and generate code according to configuration; 3. The usage steps include installing plug-ins, setting browserslist, and enabling them in the build process; 4. Notes include not manually adding prefixes, keeping configuration updates, prefixes not all attributes, and it is recommended to use them with the preprocessor.

CSS: When Does Case Matter (and When Doesn't)?
Jun 19, 2025 am 12:27 AM
In CSS, selector and attribute names are case-sensitive, while values, named colors, URLs, and custom attributes are case-sensitive. 1. The selector and attribute names are case-insensitive, such as background-color and background-Color are the same. 2. The hexadecimal color in the value is case-sensitive, but the named color is case-sensitive, such as red and Red is invalid. 3. URLs are case sensitive and may cause file loading problems. 4. Custom properties (variables) are case sensitive, and you need to pay attention to the consistency of case when using them.
