Scaling image with CSS Transition

Question

This is how I want to scale my images, smoothly without any jumps.

My attempt does not work like in the gallery above, the image (red square in my case) jumps, my code:

section {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961);
    width: 400px;
    height: 400px;
}

div {
    position: absolute;
    top: 120px;
    left: 120px;
    width: 160px;
    height: 160px;
    background-color: red;
    -webkit-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;

}

div:hover {
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.8);
}

<section>
    <div></div>
</section>

How to fix this? The red square jumps. Is it possible to scale smoothly with CSS Transition at all like in the gallery in the link at the beginning?

Answer 1

What do you mean by "jumps"? Try this, jumps too?

section {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961);
    width: 400px;
    height: 400px;
}

div {
    position: absolute;
    top: 120px;
    left: 120px;
    width: 160px;
    height: 160px;
    background-color: red;
    -webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 0.4s;
    transition: transform 0.4s;
}

    div:hover {
        -webkit-transform: scale(1.8) rotate(0.01deg);
        transform: scale(1.8) rotate(0.01deg);
    }

<section>
    <div></div>
</section>

Also, you could try the variant with a container for an image (like in the first link of your question).

JSFiddle

.banner {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
    cursor: pointer;
    border: 1px solid #dfe2e5;
    background: #000;
    width: 310px;
    height: 150px;
    -webkit-transition: border-color 0.1s;
    transition: border-color 0.1s;
    overflow: hidden;
}

    .banner:hover {
        border-color: #bdc1c5;
    }

    .banner__image-container {
        overflow: hidden;
        height: 100%;
    }

    .banner__image {
        -webkit-transition: all 0.4s;
        transition: all 0.4s;
    }

        .banner:hover .banner__image {
            -webkit-transform: scale(1.15) rotate(0.01deg);
            transform: scale(1.15) rotate(0.01deg);
            opacity: 0.5;
        }

<div class="banner">
    <div class="banner__image-container">
        <img class="banner__image" src="https://picsum.photos/310/150/?image=1022"/>
    </div>
</div>
