How to Create Animated Image Carousel with CSS
Image carousels are a great way to display multiple images in a single space, and adding animation to them can make them even more appealing. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to create an animated image carousel using CSS.
Before we start, let’s clarify what we mean by an animated image carousel. An animated image carousel is a collection of images that transition from one to the next with some sort of animation. This animation could be a fade effect, a slide effect, or any other effect that transitions smoothly between images.
To create an animated image carousel, we’ll need to use HTML and CSS. Here are the steps to follow:
First, let’s create the HTML markup for the carousel. We’ll need a container to hold the carousel and a set of images to display. Here’s an example:
<div class="slider">
<div class="slide">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
</div>
<div class="slide">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
<img src="binance.png" alt="">
</div>
</div>
Next, we’ll need to style the carousel container.
.wrapper {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.slider {
width: 1000px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background: white;
box-shadow: 0 10px 20px -10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
display: flex;
overflow: hidden;
}
.slide {
height: 100px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
animation: slideshow 10s linear infinite;
}
.slide img {
height: 70px;
padding: 0 30px 0 30px;
}
@keyframes slideshow {
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
}
.slider::before,
.slider::after {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
position: absolute;
content: "";
background: linear-gradient(to right, white 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 100%);
z-index: 2;
}
.slider::before {
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
.slider::after {
right: 0;
top: 0;
transform: rotateZ(180deg);
}
Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you may need to adjust the animation keyframes, duration, or timing function. Play around with these settings to find the effect that works best for your images.
And that’s it! With just a few lines of HTML and CSS, you can create a beautiful animated image carousel.
