  1. hi does this work only with elementor pro? because when i open the CSS tab it tells me i have to upgrade on pro. is there any wor around to use methode 2 with normal elementor? thank you in advance

    1. Maxime Desrosiers thanks. unfortunately i am not so advanced. can i just coppy vour css code in the html widget or do i have to change something in the code?

    2. Renato Ducati Place your CSS code within <style></style> tags, in the html element.

      like this:

      <style>
      //css here
      </style>

  2. Thanks for sharing this!! I am trying to achieve something like the second way, but for the background image of the section (I have some text in front of it)

    1. Hey Christian! The code required would be quite a bit different then... A bit out of the article's scope! Send me a message if you are interested in custom work for this tho.

    1. Good idea. Here is the CSS for that. Simply adjust the "scale(1.3)" to what you want!

      .elementor-posts-container a.elementor-post__thumbnail__link .elementor-post__thumbnail img {
          transition: transform 0.4s;
      }
      
      .elementor-posts-container a.elementor-post__thumbnail__link:hover .elementor-post__thumbnail img {
          transform: translate(-50%,-50%) scale(1.3);
      }
      
  3. Thanks for the post. Your code works great. However, I would need a small tweak - I have build an inner section, but with four columns, hence four pictures. Now when I hover over a picture, I have zoom in, but zoomed in picture though bigger is under adjacent picture. I was trying with z-index, but now change. Is there any chance to show zoomed it picture always on top of adjacent pictures / columns? Thank you 🙂

  4. Great post, easy and quick solution. I'm only having a little problem i can't solve.
    https://alu.pucoo.nl/ on this page, the overflow:hidden works most sides, but not on the left side. The image comes out of it's box. Am i doing something wrong here?
