CSS3 Image Hover Effects

Today I will tell you how to create different CSS3 image hover effects. I hope that you still remember our one old tutorial. We used javascript there. Today I will try to make something similar with using CSS3. In the result gallery page we will have 9 images, each of them have own hover effect.

Ok, download the example files and lets start !


Step 1. HTML

First, lets prepare the main HTML markup for our demo gallery. As you can see – result structure is quite easy. Here are set of DIV objects. Each of them contain one image and some virtual mask (DIV). Last one element will contain two masks.

index.html

        <!-- panel with buttons -->
        <div class="photos">

            </div>
            <div>

                <div></div>
            </div>
            <div>
                <img src="images/pic8.jpg" />
                <div></div>
            </div>
            <div class="pair">
                <img src="images/pic9.jpg" />
                <div></div>
                <div></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Step 2. CSS

I omit styles of layout.css. Here are nothing interesting. The most interesting – next one file (where I have prepared all necessary styles of our gallery):

css/gall.css

.photos {
    width: 945px;
    height: 400px;
    margin: 100px auto;
    position:relative;
}
.photos > div {
    background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.5);
    border: 2px solid #444;
    float: left;
    height: 100px;
    margin: 5px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    width: 300px;
    z-index: 1;
    -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
    -moz-border-radius: 10px;
    -ms-border-radius: 10px;
    -o-border-radius: 10px;
    border-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-transform:scale(1.0);
    -moz-transform:scale(1.0);
    -ms-transform:scale(1.0);
    -o-transform:scale(1.0);
    transform:scale(1.0);
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -moz-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -ms-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -o-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    transition-duration: 0.5s;
}
.photos > div img{
    width: 100%;
}
.photos > div:hover{
    z-index: 10;
    -webkit-transform:scale(2.0);
    -moz-transform:scale(2.0);
    -ms-transform:scale(2.0);
    -o-transform:scale(2.0);
    transform:scale(2.0);
}
.photos > div div {
    background: url(../images/hover.gif) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    height: 100%;
    left: 0;
    opacity: 0.5;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 15;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -moz-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -ms-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    -o-transition-duration: 0.5s;
    transition-duration: 0.5s;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(1):hover div {
    height: 0%;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(2):hover div {
    height: 0%;
    margin-top: 100px;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(3):hover div {
    width: 0%;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(4):hover div {
    margin-left: 300px;
    width: 0%;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(5):hover div {
    height: 0%;
    margin-left: 150px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    width: 0%;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(6):hover div {
    margin-left: 150px;
    width: 0%;
}
.photos > div:nth-child(7):hover div {
    height: 0%;
    margin-left: 150px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    width: 0%;
    -webkit-transform: rotateX(360deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(360deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(-360deg);
    transform: rotate(-360deg);
}
.photos > div:nth-child(8):hover div {
    height: 0%;
    margin-left: 150px;
    margin-top: 50px;
    width: 0%;
    -webkit-transform: rotateZ(600deg);
    -moz-transform: rotateZ(600deg);
    -ms-transform: rotateZ(600deg);
    -o-transform: rotateZ(600deg);
    transform: rotateZ(600deg);
}
.photos > div.pair div {
    width: 50%;
}
.photos > div.pair div:nth-child(odd) {
    margin-left: 150px;
}
.photos > div.pair:hover div {
    width: 0%;
}
.photos > div.pair:hover div:nth-child(odd) {
    margin-left: 300px;
}

  1. This helped me and using it I made a simple snippet to show the author info using the CSS3 hover effects

  2. I tried this in IE 8 and nothing happens. Is there a “workaround” (aka hack) to get this to work? Otherwise, in other browsers this is WONDERFUL!! Thanks for the information.

    • Hi Fred, Hack will not help, unfortunately, transitions don’t work in IE (version below 9) at all. But, you can achieve the same effect using javascript.

  3. Thank you for this tutorial!
    It is so nice to be able to make a nice gallery as slick as this, without javascript.
    I did cut way back on the code with the same results.
    I love the easy and quick way to do my galleries.
