Overview
All effects make use of a single element (with the help of some pseudo-elements where necessary), are self contained so you can easily copy and paste them.
Many effects use CSS3 features such as transitions, transforms, and animations. Old browsers that don’t support these features may need some extra attention to be certain a fallback hover effect is still in place.

please add more effects. i recommend to add the effect ‘hover and see the title‘. the title display in mouse hover in bottom with white background just 25% height in hover.
thank you in advance.
No control at all
by egocefalo·2 years ago
No way to control the effects parameters, some are too exagerated and some too light/small and there’s just that single setting. Next…
Super easy and great work

The plugin is very easy to use, it is not applied to all images en masse, but you can choose a separate effect for each image. Excellent plugin! I recommend :). Thank you very much to the creator for creating it. I really appreciate it! 🙂
