<div>{{CSSRef}}</div>
<p>Die <a href="/de/docs/CSS">CSS</a>-Eigenschaft <strong><code>perspective-origin</code></strong> <a href="/en-US/docs/CSS">CSS</a> property determines the position at which the viewer is looking. It is used as the <em>vanishing point</em> by the {{cssxref("perspective")}} property.</p>
<div>{{EmbedInteractiveExample("pages/css/perspective-origin.html")}}</div>
<p>The <strong><code>perspective-origin</code> </strong>and {{cssxref('perspective')}} properties are attached to the parent of a child transformed in 3-dimensional space, unlike the <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform-function/perspective">perspective()</a></code> transform function which is placed on the element being transformed.</p>
<h2 id="Syntax">Syntax</h2>
<pre class="brush:css no-line-numbers notranslate">/* One-value syntax */

<dt><em>y-position</em></dt>
<dd>Indicates the position of the ordinate of the <em>vanishing point</em>. It can have one of the following values:
