Make Images Reveal on Hover Using Only CSS

Description: In this tutorial, we'll build a smooth image reveal hover effect using HTML and CSS from scratch.

The image starts hidden behind a layer, and when you hover over it, the layer smoothly moves away to reveal the image underneath.

What you'll learn:
Creating an image reveal effect
Using overflow:hidden
Positioning elements with position:absolute
Creating smooth hover transitions
Using transform for the reveal animation
Building the effect with pure HTML & CSS

No JavaScript or frameworks are used — just HTML and CSS.

If you're learning frontend development and want to create more interactive UI effects, this is a simple project to practice with.

Technologies: HTML • CSS
