To create the CSS Mirror/ Reflection Text Effect follow the steps below and watch the video tutorial:

  1. Add HTML
  2. Add CSS

Step1.

Add HTML

<div class="mirror-text">MIRROR
</div>

Step2.

Add CSS

Set the colour and the position of the background and elements:

body {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

Style the text and create the mirror effect:

.mirror-text {
  position: relative;
  font-size:120px;
  font-weight: 900;
  font-family: arial;
  color: #4895ef;
}

.mirror-text:before {
  content:"MIRROR";
  position: absolute;
  top:85px;
  transform: rotate(180deg) scaleX(-1);
  opacity:0.5;
  
}

.mirror-text:after {
  content:"";
  position: absolute;
  left:0;
  width:850px;
  height:100px;
  top:105px;
  background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(255,255,255,0) 24%, rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 50%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 100%);
}

Add the CSS @media rule to display the effect properly on smaller screens:

@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .mirror-text {
    font-size: 80px;
  }
  .mirror-text:before {
    top:60px;
  }
  .mirror-text:after {
    top:55px;
  }
}
