CSS3 – Image zoom on mouse hover

Leave a comment

With CSS3 transition property, we can do some simple animation effects. The following example will zoom in the image when mouse hover.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Eureka! | CSS3 - Image zoom on mouse hover</title>
  <style type="text/css">
    .image-wrapper {
      width: 200px;
      height: 200px;
      overflow: hidden;
    }

    .image {
      width: 200px;
      height: 200px;
      position: relative;
      left: 0;
      top: 0;
      transition: all 1s linear;
    }

    .image:hover {
      width: 400px;
      height: 400px;
      left: -100px;
      top: -100px ;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="image-wrapper">
    <img class="image" src="https://ykyuen.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/mickey-mouse.jpg">

With CSS3, we could make simple animation without any use of Javascript. The following is an example which created a mouse hover effect on a div.

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <style type="text/css">
    #eureka {
      background-color: red;
      width: 200px;
      height: 200px;
      -webkit-transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out, width 0.5s ease-in-out;
      -moz-transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out, width 0.5s ease-in-out;
      -o-transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out, width 0.5s ease-in-out;
      -ms-transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out, width 0.5s ease-in-out;
      transition: background-color 0.5s ease-in-out, width 0.5s ease-in-out;
    }
