We study the tensor form factors for $\overrightarrow{P}P$ and $\overrightarrow{P}V$ transitions in the light-front quark model with P and V being the pseudoscalar and vector mesons, respectively. We explore the behaviors of these form factors in the entire physical range of $0<~p^2<~{(M}_i-M_f{)}^2.$ At the maximum recoil of $p^2=0,$ we compare our results of the form factors in $\overrightarrow{B}\pi ,K,\rho {,K}^{*}$ with various other calculations in the literature.
