Image galleries made by websites like Unsplash, Pinterest Etc, are made by techniques like positioning or translating the image item which is a very cumbersome task to do. You can achieve the same functionality very quickly using CSS Grids.

Zoom is free HTML5 website template, animated zoom in-out effects by jQuery, and faded in-out background images for different pages. 410 Circle Circle is a portfolio theme, fading background images and yellow color. Use custome video thumbnail Or oneclick video thumbnail image download into WordPress Video Grid. Display video description into lightbox. On/Off Video thumbnail captions. Set pagination size and use ajax pagination into WordPress Video Grid. Admin can display video gallery according video order. Open video into lightbox or new browser tab.
For example: Above is a gallery of images with images of varying width and height which is a perfect use case for CSS grids.
Let's get started!
The Underlying Grid
Now, let's create an 8x8 grid. We can create a grid of other sizes also but that depends on the type of gallery you want. In our case, an 8x8 grid will be ideal.
- A grid container is defined by setting an element's display property to the grid. So, the div, with the class grid is going to be our gridcontainer.
- We use the grid-template-columns property to set the column tracks and grid-template-rows to set the row tracks. We declare these properties on the grid container. In our example, we will we be making an 8x8 grid container.
- grid-gap: It defines the size of the gap between rowsandcolumns in a grid layout. The value for grid gap can be any CSS length unit. In our example, I have given the value of 15px to make our grid lookbetter.
HTML:
CSS:
Note: The height of the rows is tied to the viewport width, so that the cells maintain its aspect ratio perfectly fine. We have 8 rows each with the height of 5 viewport width. I experimented with these heights and came to the conclusion that 5% of viewport width is the perfect size for the height. We are doing this by setting the height of the row to 5vw (viewport width).
Note: All direct children of grid automatically become grid items.
Inserting Grid Items
Now, we will be inserting the grid items inside the grid container:
Styling Images
Setting the object fit value to cover is like setting the background size to cover for the background image. We are doing this so the image can fill the height and width of its box (the grid item), maintaining its aspect ratio.
Note: The object fit property only works if we set the width and height properties.
Note: By default the grid items are laid out according to the grid auto placement rules.
Positioning Grid Items
Before we start positioning the grid items, we will study a few basics concepts.
The grid div is the grid container, and all the direct child elements are the grid items. When we defined the grid tracks with grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows, grid providedus numbered lines called the grid lines to use for positioning the items. You can refer to each grid line by a numerical index.
Columns start at one, from left to right by default, and rows also begin at one from top to bottom. It takes two grid lines to make a single column or row, one line on either side, so our 8-column and 8-row grid consist of
9-column lines and 9-row lines.
The vertical lines 1 and 2 determine the start and end points of the first column. Lines 2 and 3 the second column and so on. Similarly, horizontal lines 1 and 2 determine the position of the first row, and lines 2 and 3 the second row and so on. Knowing the above concepts will help you understand how we are going to position items (images) on our grid.
Now, we will use grid line numbers to control how items are placed by applying properties directly to a grid item. We can specify on which line a grid item starts and ends, and how many tracks it should expand.
1st Grid Item
So let's create a new rule that targets the first grid item. We'll first use the grid-column-start property to indicate the column grid line where the first grid item starts. The grid-column-end indicates where the first grid item ends.
So the grid-column-start value is a number that indicates the grid line at the left edge of a column. The grid-column-end value indicates the grid line that marks the right edge of the column.
So in the example given below, setting grid-column-start to 1 and grid-column-end to 3 means that the grid item will stretch from the left edge of the grid line, line 1 to line 3, filling up 2 columns. We will also use the grid-row-start and grid-row-end properties to indicate the grid item start and end position on the row grid lines in the same way as we did for the column.
Note: Now, we will position other items on the same principles which we learned above.
