Image rotate on hover

An extremely cool and modern effect is to rotate and zoom in on an image when hovering over it. All it takes is a container (e.g. a <figure>) with an image inside and a few lines of CSS.

To achieve the desired effect, simply use the scale() and rotate() functions in the transform property of the image. Then, use the transition property to animate the transformation when hovering over the parent element.

Add overflow: hidden to the parent element to hide the excess from the image transformation. You can also set a min-width, max-width, and width to control the size of the container.

.hover-rotate {
  overflow: hidden;
  min-width: 240px;
  max-width: 320px;
  width: 100%;
}

.hover-rotate img {
  transition: all 0.3s;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  max-width: 100%;
}

.hover-rotate:hover img {
  transform: scale(1.3) rotate(5deg);
}
