css transform, jagged edges in chrome

antialiasing, css, google-chrome, transform

Solution

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.

-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;

Problem

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?
