141 CSS Grid Examples

Static content is a relic. We don’t just want to show information; we want the user to uncover it. This component transforms the cursor into a tool of discovery, creating a tactile connection between the user and the interface. By removing the friction of clicking or dragging handles, we achieve a fluidity that feels less like software and more like a physical extension of the hand. It is simple, unapologetic, and immediate.

In a world obsessed with speed, we often forget the power of distinct intent. The standard “click” is binary and abrupt. This component introduces a moment of pause — a “breath” — allowing the user to peek into content without committing to a navigation event. By utilizing the “long press” (or click-and-hold) mechanic, we bridge the gap between desktop precision and mobile intuition, creating a gallery experience that feels organic and responsive to the user’s curiosity.

This Kinetic 144-Clock Digital Display is a stunning example of procedural animation. Inspired by physical kinetic art installations (like those by Humans Since 1982), it uses a grid of 144 individual analog clocks to form digital numbers. React manages the “target state” of every single clock hand, while CSS transitions handle the smooth, synchronized movement, creating a mesmerizing flow of time.

This Nike Product Card Interaction is a dynamic UI component designed for e-commerce listings. It transforms a standard static product grid into an engaging experience. When a user hovers over a card, the product image rotates and shifts to make room for a vertical brand label that slides in from the side. This clever use of space allows for a clean initial view while revealing branding details on demand.

This Scroll-Driven Masonry Reveal creates a playful, tactile experience where content cards appear to be “dealt” onto the screen as the user scrolls. By leveraging the native CSS Scroll-driven Animations API, it achieves smooth, main-thread-free entrance effects without a single line of JavaScript. The layout adapts intelligently from 2 to 8 columns, making it a robust solution for image galleries or blog archives.

This React Filterable Image Gallery is a clean, component-based solution for organizing visual content. Unlike simple “show/hide” scripts, it uses React’s state management to handle complex multi-criteria filtering. Users can toggle multiple categories (e.g., “Food” AND “Plants”) simultaneously, or reset everything with an “All” button. The UI is polished with pastel colors and smooth hover animations.

This Vue FLIP Image Gallery showcases a high-performance way to animate layout changes that are typically expensive for the browser. When a user selects an image, it expands to fill a larger portion of the grid, while surrounding items gracefully rearrange themselves. This is achieved not by simple CSS transitions, but by the FLIP technique (First, Last, Invert, Play), ensuring buttery smooth 60fps animations even during complex DOM reflows.

This Glassmorphism Profile Info Card is a high-end UI component that replicates the sleek, frosted-glass aesthetic found in modern operating systems like iOS and macOS. It features a sophisticated interplay between background imagery and foreground content, using advanced CSS masking and backdrop filters to create a natural sense of depth and hierarchy.

This Stripe-Inspired Cards Hover Effect replicates the sophisticated “flashlight” border interaction seen on modern SaaS websites. Instead of a simple color change, a soft radial gradient follows the user’s mouse cursor across a grid of cards. This creates a cohesive, lighting-aware interface where elements seem to illuminate as you interact with them.

This Neumorphic Dark Mode Calculator brings the “Soft UI” trend to life with a fully functional mathematical tool. It features a realistic, extruded plastic look achieved through complex CSS box-shadows. A prominent toggle allows users to switch between a clean light theme and a high-contrast dark mode, instantly updating the shadow physics to maintain the illusion of depth.
