Example

  transform: scaleX(-1);
}

CSS can be used to create responsive image galleries. This example uses media queries to re-arrange the images on different screen sizes. Resize the browser window to see the effect:

Example

  @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  div.gallery-item {

  width: calc(50% - 20px);
  }
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

  div.gallery-item {
    width: calc(100% - 20px);
  }
}
