CSS Animations and Transitions

bookImage Hover Effects

Adding animation to images can make your web galleries more lively and interactive. By using CSS transitions and transform functions, you can create engaging hover effects that respond smoothly when users move their mouse over images. These effects not only provide visual feedback but also draw attention to featured items, making the browsing experience more enjoyable. When thoughtfully designed, image hover effects can help your site feel modern and dynamic without distracting from the content.

This gallery demonstrates how transitions and transforms work together to create a polished hover effect. Each image uses the transition property to smoothly animate changes to the transform and box-shadow properties. When you hover over an image, it scales up slightly and rotates, while the shadow deepens to give a sense of depth and interactivity. The cubic-bezier timing function provides a natural, springy feel to the animation, enhancing the user experience.

To achieve subtle and appealing motion, keep these best practices in mind:

  • Use moderate scaling (like 1.05 to 1.1) to avoid overwhelming the layout;
  • Combine rotation and scaling carefully, so the effect feels intentional and not jarring;
  • Animate shadows or borders to reinforce the sense of elevation;
  • Keep transitions fast but not abrupt—between 0.3s and 0.5s is often ideal;
  • Test your effect on multiple images to ensure consistency and avoid layout shifts.
