Image rotate on hover

OSCC · CSS, Animation, Visual · Oct 11, 2021

Creates a rotate effect for the image on hover.

  • Use the scale(), rotate() and transition properties when hovering over the parent element (a <figure>) to animate the image.
  • Use overflow: hidden on the parent element to hide the excess from the image transformation.
