With the combination of basic HTML structure and CSS, we'll explore how to infuse life into a static image. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have the knowledge to incorporate similar animations into your projects, elevating the overall user engagement and aesthetic appeal of your websites.

HTML Structure

To start our journey into image animations, we'll first establish the necessary HTML structure. In this example, we'll create a container to hold our animated image. Let's keep it simple.

 <div class="container">
    <div class="img"></div>
</div>

Here, we've defined a container with the class "container" and nested a div with the class "img" inside it. This structure provides a clean foundation for our animated image.

CSS Styling

Now, let's dive into the CSS styling to enhance the visual appeal of our container and implement the image animation. We'll style both the container and the image to create an engaging visual effect.

.container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    min-height: 100vh;
    min-width:350px;
}

.img {
    width: 300px;
    height: 180px;
    background: url('https://i.ibb.co/BcbW7PY/img.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    cursor: pointer;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

.img:hover {
    animation: imageAnimation 1.5s linear infinite alternate;
}

@keyframes imageAnimation {
    from {
        filter: hue-rotate(0deg);
    }

    to {
        filter: hue-rotate(360deg);
    }
}

filter: hue-rotate(0deg); to filter: hue-rotate(360deg): Rotates the hue from 0 to 360 degrees, creating a color-shifting effect.

This CSS code creates an engaging visual experience where the image undergoes a subtle color rotation on hover. Feel free to customize the values according to your preferences and replace the image path with your desired image.
