Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Image Zoom Card
The cover image scales up inside its frame while the frame stays put, a cinematic push-in. The image container clips the overflow so nothing spills.
Also known as: image hover zoom, zoom on hover, ken burns hover.

</article>Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
