Spin or rotate an image on hover - css

Question

I want to find out how to make a spinning or rotating image when it is hovered. I would like to know how to emulate that functionality with CSS on the following code :
img {
border-radius: 50%;
}
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/3DWAbmN.jpg" />

Answer 1

You can use CSS3 transitions with rotate() to spin the image on hover.
Rotating image :
img {
transition: transform .7s ease-in-out;
}
img:hover {
transform: rotate(360deg);
}
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BLkKe.jpg" width="100" height="100"/>
Here is a fiddle DEMO

Answer 2

It's very simple.
You add an image.
You create a css property to this image.
img { transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out 0s; }
You add an animation like that:
img:hover
{
cursor: default;
transform: rotate(360deg);
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out 0s;
}

Answer 3

if you want to rotate inline elements, you should set the inline element to inline-block first.
i {
display: inline-block;
}
i:hover {
animation: rotate-btn .5s linear 3;
-webkit-animation: rotate-btn .5s linear 3;
}
#keyframes rotate-btn {
0% {
transform: rotate(0);
}
100% {
transform: rotate(-360deg);
}
}

Answer 4

Here is my code, this flips on hover and flips back off-hover.
CSS:
.flip-container {
background: transparent;
display: inline-block;
}
.flip-this {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
transition: transform 0.6s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
}
.flip-container:hover .flip-this {
transition: 0.9s;
transform: rotateY(180deg);
}
HTML:
<div class="flip-container">
<div class="flip-this">
<img width="100" alt="Godot icon" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Godot_icon.svg/512px-Godot_icon.svg.png">
</div>
</div>

here is the automatic spin and rotating zoom effect using css3
#obj1{
float:right;
width: 96px;
height: 100px;
-webkit-animation: mymove 20s infinite; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation: mymove 20s infinite;
animation-delay:2s;
background-image:url("obj1.png");
transform: scale(1.5);
-moz-transform: scale(1.5);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
-o-transform: scale(1.5);
-ms-transform: scale(1.5); /* IE 9 */
margin-bottom: 70px;
}
#obj2{
float:right;
width: 96px;
height: 100px;
-webkit-animation: mymove 20s infinite; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation: mymove 20s infinite;
animation-delay:2s;
background-image:url("obj2.png");
transform: scale(1.5);
-moz-transform: scale(1.5);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
-o-transform: scale(1.5);
-ms-transform: scale(1.5); /* IE 9 */
margin-bottom: 70px;
}
#obj6{
float:right;
width: 96px;
height: 100px;
-webkit-animation: mymove 20s infinite; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
animation: mymove 20s infinite;
animation-delay:2s;
background-image:url("obj6.png");
transform: scale(1.5);
-moz-transform: scale(1.5);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
-o-transform: scale(1.5);
-ms-transform: scale(1.5); /* IE 9 */
margin-bottom: 70px;
}
/* Standard syntax */
#keyframes mymove {
50% {transform: rotate(30deg);
}
<div style="width:100px; float:right; ">
<div id="obj2"></div><br /><br /><br />
<div id="obj6"></div><br /><br /><br />
<div id="obj1"></div><br /><br /><br />
</div>
