Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Tile Mosaic Image Hover
The photo is secretly nine tiles; hover and they part from the center with a springy stagger into a rounded mosaic. Each tile shows its slice of one background through background-position.
Also known as: image breaks into tiles, grid pieces hover, shatter image effect.

}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.
