The element makes a full turn around the Y axis while moving slightly toward the viewer and back.
Use for
Attention-drawing reveal of a card or badge
Add a "Flip" animation to [where].
The element should make one full turn around its vertical axis while coming slightly toward the viewer, then settle back with a tiny dip in size: lively but brief.
Give it perspective so the turn reads as depth, play it once rather than looping, and skip the turn when the user prefers reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion).
Also called Flip card, Card flip 3D, 3D flip on hover
A card rotates 180 degrees around an axis to reveal its back face.
Use for
Team cards, flash cards, pricing details
Add a "Card Flip" effect (also called a flip card or card flip 3D) to [where].
When the pointer is over the card, it should turn over around its vertical axis in perspective to show its back face, and turn back when the pointer leaves: smooth and steady.
Hide each face's back side so the two never show through each other, and make the flip work on keyboard focus and with a tap on touch devices.
Also called Flip Out X, Flip Out Y
The element rotates in 3D until it is edge-on and invisible.
Use for
Removing cards and tiles
Add a "Flip Out" exit animation (also called flip out X or flip out Y) to [where].
The element should tilt back slightly, then rotate around its vertical axis until it is edge-on and gone: quick and crisp.
Give it perspective so the turn reads as depth, remove the element only after the turn finishes, and hide it instantly when the user prefers reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion).

Hover to play
Also called 3D Flip Text Reveal
Letters or words rotate around an axis in 3D to show the next text on their back side.
Use for
Hover links, headings
Add a "Text 3D Flip" hover effect (also called 3D flip text reveal) to [where].
When the pointer is over the text, each letter should roll over on its horizontal axis in 3D to show a new letter on its other side, one after another in a quick, smooth sweep, and roll back when the pointer leaves.
Keep the text box the same size during the flip, and show the same effect on keyboard focus.
