3D Flip Card
Pure CSS 3D flip using transform-style: preserve-3d and rotateY with backface-visibility: hidden on both faces.
3D Flip Card the 3rd of 20 designs in the 20 CSS Cards with Animations collection. The design is implemented in pure CSS — no JavaScript required. Copy the HTML and CSS panels below into your project. Because the demo is pure CSS, it works in any framework or templating engine you happen to use. The design honours prefers-reduced-motion and uses real semantic markup, so it ships accessibility-ready out of the box.
