Overview

A thumbnail image is the smaller version of an image. When we click a thumbnail image, the full or larger size of the image is displayed. Nowadays, thumbnail images are very commonly used in social media applications and websites.

A thumbnail is characterized by borders which surround it, either to give it a circular, rectangular, or square shape.

Steps to create a thumbnail image

The steps written below describe how we can create a thumbnail image:

• First, we will structure a simple HTML outlay. We can have a simple paragraph saying something about our image, like “click image to see full”, inside the body .
• Then, we will open an tag and structure it like how it’s shown below. The target=»_blank» attribute and value tells the web browser to open the full size image in a new browser window.

• The href value of the image_path is the relative or absolute path to our image. This serves as the link to display the image being called up in the tag src attribute value.
• We will style our thumbnail image to the little size we want it to be. We can also style the thumbnail to have a circular shape or any other shape we want and to have a nice border around it.

Now, our simple thumbnail image is ready.

Let’s look at the demo code below, which follows the steps listed above.

How to Create Thumbnail Images

Thumbnail is a small representation of a large image. This kind of images is mainly used by Websites, which contain many pictures, for making the page download easier and faster. Our snippet will help you to create thumbnail images, including the ones as links.

It’s straightforward, so let’s start to create one together.

Create HTML

img src="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/gallery/metofficegovuk/hero-images/weather/autumn/autumn-leaves-against-a-blue-sky-photo-andrew-small.jpg" alt="Autumn" width="200">

Add CSS

• Add borders to your image with the help of the border property.
• Use the padding property to create space on all sides of the image.

img < border: 2px solid #C0C0C0; padding: 5px; >

Let’s bring together the parts of our code.

Example of creating a thumbnail image:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> img < border: 2px solid #C0C0C0; padding: 5px; > style> head> body> img src="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/gallery/metofficegovuk/hero-images/weather/autumn/autumn-leaves-against-a-blue-sky-photo-andrew-small.jpg" alt="Autumn" width="200"> body> html>

Result

Making the thumbnail image a link

• Use the CSS :hover pseudo-class to select and style the link.
• Put the CSS box-shadow property to implement multiple shadows around the box specifying its color and size.

img:hover < box-shadow: 5px 4px 10px #8B0000; >

Now, we can try some examples.

Example of making the thumbnail image a link opening on a new page:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> img < border: 2px solid #C0C0C0; padding: 5px; > img:hover < box-shadow: 5px 4px 10px #8B0000; > style> head> body> a target="_blank" href="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/gallery/metofficegovuk/hero-images/weather/autumn/autumn-leaves-against-a-blue-sky-photo-andrew-small.jpg"> img src="https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/content/gallery/metofficegovuk/hero-images/weather/autumn/autumn-leaves-against-a-blue-sky-photo-andrew-small.jpg" alt="Autumn" width="200"> a> body> html>

Instead of the _blank value of the target attribute, you can use other values too, which will open the link of the image in different ways.

Example of making the thumbnail image a link opening on the same page:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> img < border: 2px solid #C0C0C0; padding: 5px; > img:hover < box-shadow: 0px 4px 5px #FFD700; > style> head> body> a target="_self" href="https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/sunset-beach-phone-photos-featured.jpg"> img src="https://www.groovypost.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/sunset-beach-phone-photos-featured.jpg" alt="photo" width="300"> a> body> html>
