Masonry Layout

The Masonry layouts once were used exclusively for image galleries.

But this kind layout is very catchy for the users, so the use cases have increased nowadays, it is used for post list, showcase list etc etc.

A very important thing for this layout is that the images must be very beautiful and of high quality.

This layout is also appreciated by developers and designers as the images adapt to the page automatically.
It is no longer needed to deal with adapting the size of the individual images, the layout will adapt to the different dimensions of the images automatically.

Native CSS Masonry

In the CSS there is a property that allows us to create this effect as we can see here but unfortunately this native functionality is still not supported on all browsers as we can see on can I use.

Masonry libraries

Once creating this layout using only CSS was not so simple, developers had to use JavaScript a lot or external libraries like this.

With the evolution of CSS more and more examples of this layout that are developed only with CSS are available online.
