If you want to do this on a daily basis, I recommend an extensible, lightweight CSS hover animation library called “Imagehover. CSS” on Github. This is a well-made CSS library that allows you to easily achieve a variety of image hover effects. It supports “40” hover effects and is compressed to just “19KB”.
