            alt="Geeks Image" /> 
    </div> 
</body> 
  
</html> 

CSS Code: In this section, we will use some CSS property to Zoom an Image on mouse hover. To create a zoom effect, we will use transition and transform property.

<style> 
    .geeks { 
        width: 300px; 
        height: 300px; 
        overflow: hidden; 
        margin: 0 auto; 
    } 
       
    .geeks img { 
        width: 100%; 
        transition: 0.5s all ease-in-out; 
    } 
       
    .geeks:hover img { 
        transform: scale(1.5); 
    } 
</style>
