Scale elements on hover using CSS

Often we get a requirement to scale images on hover or content block on hover, it can be achieved using CSS through transform property

// Growing in size
.grow:hover {
  transform: scale(1.2);
}
// shrinking in size
.shrink:hover {
  transform: scale(0.8);
}

Here transform: scale property alone can't help the effect to be smooth, in order to get smooth effect, we need to add some transition to the elements.

.grow,
.shrink {
  transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
