Zoom Images on Hover

Zoom Images on Hover

This tutorial covers how to add an on-hover zoom effect to images as in the following video:

Skill set: Basic

Area: UI

Video Length: ~2 min

  • You'll need a Builder account.
  • An evergreen browser; that is, a modern, up-to-date browser such as Google Chrome.

The following instructions demonstrate how to set up images to zoom on hover.

Tip: Using the Columns block is optional and in this tutorial is only used for demonstration. You only need an Image block nested within a Box block to set up the zoom effect.

  1. Optional: drag a Columns block from the Insert tab into the work area.
  2. Add an image to the Image block.
  3. Add a Box block above the image.
  4. In the Style tab > CSS Properties, click + New and in the property name field, enter overflow and set the value to hidden.
  5. Drag the Image block into the Box.
  6. Make sure the Image block is selected. Tip: to check that you have placed the Image within the Box, check the Layers tab.
  7. Go to the Animate tab.
  8. Click the + Animate button.
  9. For trigger, select Hover.
  10. Still in the Animate tab, within the CSS Properties section, click + New and in the property name field, enter transform and set the value to scale(1.5).
  11. In the Animate tab, click the three dots near the bottom under Easing to Ease in.
  12. Test by hovering over the image to trigger the zoom animation.

For more information on images, read Working with Images.
