css transform jagged edges in chrome

Question

I ve been using CSS3 transform to rotate images and textboxes with borders in my website   The problem is that the border look jagged in Chrome  like a  low-resolution  game without Anti-Aliasing  In IE  Opera and FF it looks much better because AA is used  which is still clearly visible but not that bad   I can t test Safari because I don t own a Mac   The rotated photo and text itself look fine  it is only the border that looks jagged   The CSS I use is this    rotate2deg       transform  rotate 2deg       -ms-transform  rotate 2deg      IE 9        -webkit-transform  rotate 2deg      Safari and Chrome        -o-transform  rotate 2deg      Opera        -moz-transform  rotate 2deg      Firefox        Is there any way I can fix this  e g  by forcing Chrome to use AA   Example below

Just thought that we d throw in our solution too as we had the exact same problem on Chrome Windows   We tried the solution by  stevenWatkins above  but still had the  stepping    Instead of  -webkit-backface-visibility  hidden    We used    -webkit-backface-visibility  initial    For us this did the trick

For canvas in Chrome  Version 52  All listed answers is about images  But my issue is about canvas in chrome  v 52  with transform rotate  They became jagged and all this methods can t help  Solution that works for me   Make canvas larger on 1 px for each side   gt   2 px for width and height  Draw image with offset   1px  in position 1 1 instead of 0 0  and fixed size  size of image should be 2px less than size of canvas  Apply required rotation  So important code blocks   x000D   x000D     Unfixed version ctx drawImage img  0  0  335  218      Fixed version ctx drawImage img  1  1  335  218   x000D     This style should be applied for fixed version    canvas     margin-left  -1px    margin-top -1px            x000D   lt  --Unfixed version-- gt   lt canvas width  335  height  218  gt  lt  canvas gt   lt  --Fixed version-- gt   lt canvas width  337  height  220  gt  lt  canvas gt  x000D   x000D   x000D   Sample  https   jsfiddle net tLbxgusx 1  Note  there is a lot of nested divs because it is simplified version from my project   This issue is reproduced also for Firefox for me  There is no such issue on Safari and FF with retina  And other founded solution is to place canvas into div of same size and apply following css to this div  overflow  hidden  box-shadow  0 0 1px rgba 255 255 255 0      Or   outline 1px solid transparent   And rotation should be applied to this wrapping div  So listed solution is worked but with small modification  And modified example for such solution is  https   jsfiddle net tLbxgusx 2  Note  See style of div with class  third

For me it was the perspective CSS property that did the trick   -webkit-perspective  1000    Completely illogical in my case as I use no 3d transitions  but works nonetheless

Adding a 1px transparent border will trigger anti-aliasing  outline  1px solid transparent    Alternatively  add a 1px transparent box-shadow   box-shadow  0 0 1px rgba 255 255 255 0

User · Answer

You might be able to mask the jagging using blurred box-shadows  Using -webkit-box-shadow instead of box-shadow will make sure it doesn t affect non-webkit browsers  You might want to check Safari and the mobile webkit browsers though   The result is somewhat better  but still a lot less good then with the other browsers

Chosen answer  nor any of the other answers  didn t work for me  but this did  img  outline 1px solid transparent

In case anyone s searching for this later on  a nice trick to get rid of those jagged edges on CSS transformations in Chrome is to add the CSS property -webkit-backface-visibility with a value of hidden  In my own tests  this has completely smoothed them out  Hope that helps   -webkit-backface-visibility  hidden

Adding the following on the div surrounding the element in question fixed this for me    -webkit-transform-style  preserve-3d    The jagged edges were appearing around the video window in my case

I ve been having an issue with a CSS3 gradient with -45deg  The background slanted  was badly jagged similar to but worse than the original post  So I started playing with both the background-size  This would stretch out the jaggedness  but it was still there  Then in addition I read that other people are having issues too at 45deg increments so I adjusted from -45deg to -45 0001deg and my problem was solved   In my CSS below  background-size was initially 30px and the deg for the background gradient was exactly -45deg  and all keyframes were 30px 0        -webkit-keyframes progressStripeLTR           to               background-position  60px 0                         -moz-keyframes progressStripeLTR           to               background-position  60px 0

Try 3d transform  This works like a charm      Due to a bug in the anti-liasing   -webkit-transform-style  preserve-3d   -webkit-transform  rotateZ 2deg

If you are using transition instead of transform  -webkit-backface-visibility  hidden  does not work  A jagged edge appears during animation for a transparent png file    To solve it I used  outline  1px solid transparent
