[en] Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari transform: skew aliasing aka jagged edges

Let’s say you have an HTML code as this one:

<section>
    <img src="gfx/slider1.jpg" alt=""/>
    <article class="container">
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
    </article>
</section>

and you skew it using CSS transforms (I’m using LESS):

section {
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 740px;
    transform: skewY(-2.917deg);

    > img, > article {
        position: absolute;
        left: 0;
        top: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
    }

    > article {
        transform: skewY(2.917deg);
    }
}

It works nicely in all modern browsers, but of course Internet Explorer must give you a headache by presenting jagged, aliased edge:

To force it to antialias the edge, just apply this little fix:

section > img {
    top: -1px;
}

and suddenly it looks like this:

Why? It seems IE antialiases only the transformed element’s edges, but does nothing for its contents. When image is moved beyond parent, skewed element — its antialiasing takes care of stuff.

If it has jagged edges in Chrome, Safari and other Webkit-based browsers, apply another fix:

section {
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
    backface-visibility: hidden;
}

  1. Hi everyone , I’m Jack. Welcome to my website . I started writing in high school after a creative writing assignment for my English teacher. I did creative writing for several months before I thought about doing something else. I had always loved doing research assignments because I’m passionate about learning. When you combine writing skill with a love of learning, dissertation writing only makes sense as a job. I’m passionate about helping the students of the future in their school career. When they don’t have time for their paper , I am there to help.
