::view-transition
Baseline 2025 Newly available
Since October 2025, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The ::view-transition CSS pseudo-element represents the root of the view transitions overlay, which contains all view transition snapshot groups and sits over the top of all other page content.
During a view transition, ::view-transition is included in the associated pseudo-element tree as explained in The view transition pseudo-element tree. It is the top-level node of this tree, and has one or more ::view-transition-group()s as children.
::view-transition is given the following default styling in the UA stylesheet:
:root::view-transition { position: fixed; inset: 0; } All ::view-transition-group() pseudo-elements are positioned relative to the view transition root.
