 # Transforms
 
-Transforms are functions that modify a [token](tokens.md) so that it can be understood by a specific platform. It can modify the name, value, or attributes of a token - enabling each platform to use the design token in different ways. A simple example is changing pixel values to point values for iOS and dp or sp for Android.

A simple example is changing pixel values to point values for iOS and dp or sp for Android.
 
-Transforms are isolated per platform; each platform begins with the same design token and makes the modifications it needs without affecting other platforms. The order you use transforms matters because transforms are performed sequentially. Transforms are used in your [configuration](config.md), and can be either [pre-defined transforms](transforms.md?id=pre-defined-transforms) supplied by Style Dictionary or [custom transforms](transforms.md?id=defining-custom-transforms).

 Some platform configuration attributes apply a broader effect over the transforms applied. For example, the `size/remToDp` transform will scale a number by 16, or by the value of `options.basePxFontSize` if it is present. Check individual transform documentation to see where this is applicable.
