# Transforms

> Position, rotate, scale, and parent GameObjects with transforms in the Editor and from scripts.

The Transform component stores a GameObject's position, rotation, scale, and parent. You can change transforms in the Unity Editor, from scripts with the `Transform` API, or from Burst-compiled code with the unmanaged `TransformHandle` API.
