CSS Image Galleries: Creating Stunning Image Displays with CSS

To create an image gallery using CSS, you can use a combination of HTML and CSS.

As an example:

Editor

Loading...

In this example:

  • The div element with the class gallery contains three img elements.
  • The CSS code applies a grid layout to the gallery element with three columns of equal width, and a gap of 20 pixels between the images.
  • The img elements are set to fill the width of their container and maintain their aspect ratio.

To create a responsive image gallery, you can use CSS media queries to adjust the layout of the gallery based on the screen size of the device.

As an example:

Editor

Loading...

In this example:

  • The gallery element has a grid layout with columns that have a minimum width of 250 pixels and a maximum width of 1 fraction unit (1fr).
  • This allows the images to resize dynamically to fill the available space, but not become too small.
  • The img elements are set to fill the width of their container and maintain their aspect ratio.
  • The @media rule applies a different grid layout when the screen size is less than or equal to 768 pixels.
  • In this case, the columns have a minimum width of 200 pixels, to ensure the images are still large enough to be seen on smaller screens.
tip

You can adjust the grid layout and media query breakpoints to suit your needs, and also add additional CSS styles to customize the appearance of the gallery.
