Project Folder Structure:

Before we dive into the HTML and CSS code, let’s set up our project folder structure. Create a new folder for your project and organize it as follows:

  • index.html
  • style.css
  • product.png (or any image you want to use)

Now, let’s move on to the code implementation.

HTML:

Open your index.html file and add the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Image Zoom On Hover</title>
    <!-- Stylesheet -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="image"></div>
  </body>
</html>

CSS:

Next, open your style.css file and add the following CSS code:

.image {
  height: 500px;
  width: 500px;
  background: url(product.png);
  cursor: zoom-in;
  background-position: center;
}
.image:hover {
  background-size: 120%;
}
