How Do I Rotate an Image in Webflow?

by

If you’re using Webflow to build your website, you may come across the need to rotate an image. Whether you want to add a creative touch or simply adjust the orientation of an image, Webflow makes it easy to achieve this effect.

Rotating an Image in Webflow

Webflow provides a straightforward way to rotate images using CSS transforms. By applying a rotate property to your image element, you can control the angle and direction of rotation.

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Select the image you want to rotate in the Webflow designer.
  2. Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
  3. Scroll down until you find the Transform section.
  4. Click on the “+” icon next to Transform to add a new transform property.
  5. Select “Rotate” from the dropdown menu.
  6. Enter the desired rotation value in degrees. Positive values will rotate clockwise, while negative values will rotate counterclockwise.
    • Note:
      • The maximum value for rotation is 360 degrees, which will bring your image back to its original orientation.
      • You can also use decimal values for more precise rotations, such as 45.5 degrees or -30.75 degrees.

    An Example:

    To illustrate this process further, let’s say we have an image that we want to rotate by 90 degrees clockwise:

    Your Image

    In the example above, we set the rotation value to 90 degrees, which will rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise. Adjust the rotation value according to your preference.

    Additional Transformations:

    Webflow’s Transform section offers other transformation options you can combine with rotation or use on their own. Here are a few examples:

    • Scale: Increase or decrease the size of an image proportionally.
    • Translate: Move an image horizontally or vertically on the screen.
    • Skew: Distort an image by skewing it along the x-axis or y-axis.

    You can experiment with these transformations to create unique effects and enhance your website’s visual appeal.
