I have a list of images I\'m trying to overlap so that they look similar to this:
My code:
You can use flex and reverse order then no need z-index:
.avatars {
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
.avatar {
position: relative;
border: 4px solid #fff;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100px;
}
.avatar:not(:last-child) {
margin-left: -60px;
}
.avatar img {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<div class="avatars">
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/70">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/80">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/90">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/100">
</span>
</div>
Here is another idea with scale:
.avatars {
display: inline-block;
transform: scale(-1, 1);
}
.avatar {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
border: 4px solid #fff;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100px;
}
.avatar:not(:first-child) {
margin-left: -60px;
}
.avatar img {
width: 100%;
display: block;
transform: scale(-1, 1);
}
<div class="avatars">
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/70">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/80">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/90">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/100">
</span>
</div>
Another idea using mask in case you want to keep the order of your images. This will also give you transparency between the images:
.avatar {
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100px;
}
.avatar:not(:first-child) {
margin-left: -60px;
-webkit-mask:radial-gradient(circle 55px at 5px 50%,transparent 99%,#fff 100%);
mask:radial-gradient(circle 55px at 5px 50%,transparent 99%,#fff 100%);
}
.avatar img {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
body {
background:pink
}
<div class="avatars">
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/70">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/80">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/90">
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/100">
</span>
</div>
I like Temani's better, but if you can't use flex because you have to support IE 9 or earlier, I'll leave this here.
Note that the text direction is now right to left, so you'll need to reverse the order of your avatars.
.avatar img {
border-radius: 50%;
position: relative;
left: -5px;
margin-left: -25px;
z-index: 1;
}
.avatars {
direction: rtl; /* This is to get the stack with left on top */
text-align: left; /* Now need to explitly align left */
padding-left: 25px; /* Same value as the negative margin */
}
<div class="avatars">
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://www.fillmurray.com/50/50" width="50" height="50"/>
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://www.fillmurray.com/100/100" width="50" height="50"/>
</span>
<span class="avatar">
<img src="https://www.fillmurray.com/200/200" width="50" height="50"/>
</span>
<span class="avatar">

</span>
<span class="avatar">

<!-- Variable amount more avatars -->
