How we can create infinite image cards which reveal more on scroll? Solution: See this Infinite Image Cards Scrolling Using JavaScript and CSS, Scroll To Load.
Previously I have shared the Animated Scroll Images program which contains some images and repeat on the scroll, but this is an API based program. Basically, an infinite image card program show some image at first which fir in whole page, but on scroll it shows more cards and creates a scrollable page. And this is a JS based unlimited image card show program powered by a third-party API.
Today you will learn to create the Image cards Scroll To Load program. Basically, there are multiple images with some category texts and it covers the whole webpage. When you will start scrolling down then more images will reveal. And you can go to any image by clicking on over it, then it will open in a new tab. Also, there is a smooth transition when the cards reveal.
So, Today I am sharing Infinite Image Cards Scrolling Using JavaScript and CSS. There I have used HTML to create the structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for functioning. This program is based on pure JS no library. After some style modification, you can create this program like Pinterest feed. You can use this program on your website after making some changes.
If you are thinking now how this image cards program actually is, then see the preview given below.
Preview Of JavaScript Scroll To Load Program
See this video preview to getting an idea of how this program looks like.

Infinite Image Cards Scrolling Using JavaScript Source Code
Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created the main div actually, there is a single div in the HTML file. Inside the div, I have placed an ID name, and a class name. There JavaScript creating all the image cards dynamically. And also in the HTML file, I have linked other files like CSS and JavaScript.
Now using CSS I have placed all the items in the right place. First using CSS I gave basic values like size, position, margin, padding, etc to all the elements. There I have used grid display command and other grid commands to create the layout. I have used CSS variables to store and pass color values. There I have used @keyframe command to create the animations and @media query to create responsive design.
JavaScript handling here all functions and the images are based on a third-party website API. This program is based on Pixabay image API and integrated into the program using JSON. The JS codes are a little complicated and it is according to the API documentation. Left all other things you will understand after getting the codes, I can’t explain all in writing.
For creating this program you have to create 3 files. First file for HTML, second for CSS, and third file for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this program without any error.
index.html
Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.
