The CSS transform property is used to apply transformations to elements such as scaling, rotating, skewing, or translating (moving) them. Examples of its usage include:
- Scaling an element: "transform: scale(1.2);" increases the element's size by 20%.
- Rotating an element: "transform: rotate(45deg);" rotates the element by 45 degrees clockwise.
- Translating an element: "transform: translate(50px, 50px);" moves the element 50 pixels to the right and 50 pixels down.
