Transform
Translates, rotates, and scales an image with interpolation control and optional background compositing.
The Transform node moves, rotates, and scales an image within its canvas. All three transformations happen in a single pass to minimize quality loss. Rotation and scaling always use the image center as the origin.
Choose from Nearest (for pixel art), Bilinear (general use), or Lanczos (highest quality downscaling) interpolation. Enable Proportional to lock Scale X and Y together for uniform scaling.
An optional Background input pin lets you composite the transformed image over a background in a single node, eliminating the need for separate Pad + Transform + Composite chains. Use the Output Mode switch to choose between Composite (over background) or Transformed Only.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”Transform
Horizontal offset in pixels (positive=right)
Vertical offset in pixels (positive=down)
Clockwise rotation around image center
Lock Scale X and Y together for uniform scaling
Horizontal scale %; negative values flip
Vertical scale %; negative values flip
Resampling
Revealed pixel color
Output
0 = Transformed Only, 1 = Composite (only shown when background pin connected)
In Grid mode, pick from 9 standard positions on a visual 3×3 grid. In Custom mode, Pivot X and Pivot Y sliders appear to set exact coordinates in pixels or percent. Coordinates are zero-centered so (0, 0) is the image center.
Usage Tips
Section titled “Usage Tips”- Use Nearest interpolation when working with pixel art to preserve sharp edges.
- Negative scale values flip the image. Set Scale X to -100% for a horizontal mirror with repositioning.
- Percentage sliders show two decimal places for pixel-level precision on large images.
- Connect a Background input to composite the transformed image over another image in one step, with no separate Composite node needed.
- Enable Proportional to keep width and height scaling locked together.
