How Do I Add Hover Effect on Image in Wix?

Last updated on January 5, 2023 @ 10:24 am

Adding a hover effect to an image in Wix is a great way to add some extra style and flair to your website. There are a few different ways to do this, and each has its own benefits.

One way to add a hover effect to an image is to use the CSS3 :hover pseudo-class. This can be done by adding a simple line of code to your image’s CSS. For example, if you wanted to add a black and white effect to your image when someone hovers over it, you would add the following code:

img:hover {filter: grayscale(100%);}

This will cause the image to become black and white when someone hovers over it. You can also use the :hover pseudo-class to change the opacity of an image, or even change its size.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that adding a hover effect to an image in Wix can be tricky and may not work as intended. If you are not familiar with code or CSS, we recommend contacting a Wix expert to help you with this.

Another way to add a hover effect to an image is by using JavaScript. This approach gives you more control over the effects that are displayed, and can be used to create more complex effects. For example, you could use JavaScript to create an image gallery that changes the images when you hover over them.
