How To Create a Flip Card
Step 1) Add HTML:
Example
<div class="flip-card">
<div class="flip-card-inner">
<div class="flip-card-front">
<img src="img_avatar.png"
alt="Avatar" style="width:300px;height:300px;">
</div>
<div class="flip-card-back">
<h1>John
Doe</h1>
<p>Architect & Engineer</p>
<p>We love that guy</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Step 2) Add CSS:
Example
/* The flip card container - set the width and height to whatever you want. We
have added the border property to demonstrate that the flip itself goes out of
the box on hover (remove perspective if you don't want the 3D effect */
.flip-card {
background-color: transparent;
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid #f1f1f1;
perspective:
1000px; /* Remove this if you don't want the 3D effect */
}
/* This
container is needed to position the front and back side */
.flip-card-inner {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
transition: transform
0.8s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
/* Do an horizontal
flip when you move the mouse over the flip box container */
.flip-card:hover .flip-card-inner {
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
/* Position the front and back side */
.flip-card-front, .flip-card-back {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; /* Safari */
backface-visibility: hidden;
}
/* Style the front side (fallback if
image is missing) */
.flip-card-front {
background-color: #bbb;
color: black;
}
/* Style the back side */
.flip-card-back {
background-color: dodgerblue;
color: white;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
