The CSS Offset Property

CSS offset property

The CSS offset property allows you animate an element by defining a specific path. It is an experimental property, so always check the browser support info.

CSS offset is a shorthand for five subproperties:

• offset-anchor
• offset-distance
• offset-path
• offset-position
• offset-rotate

All of them can also be used individually. However, the subproperties are experimental as well.
