Overlay appear on Hover

Overlay appear on Hover - Pure CSS

The issue is that you are having a transition on transform and left/top which create the issue ...removing translate as explained below will fix this

You can just remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%); on .category-overlay:

.category-box {

  padding: 15px 0;

  position: relative;

}



.category-img {

  overflow: hidden;

}



.category-img img {

  width: 100%;

  object-fit: cover;

  object-position: center;

  -webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  transition: ease 0.4s all;

}



.category-big-box .category-img img {

  height: 500px;

}



.category-content {

  position: absolute;

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  background-color: #000000;

  color: white;

  padding: 25px;

  text-align: center;

  min-width: 260px;

  min-height: 125px;

  display: -webkit-flex;

  display: -ms-flexbox;

  display: flex;

  -webkit-flex-direction: column;

  -ms-flex-direction: column;

  flex-direction: column;

  justify-content: center;

  align-items: center;

  z-index: 1;

}



.category-overlay {

  position: absolute;

  left: 0;

  height: 0;

  width: 0;

  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45);

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  /*-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);*/

  -webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  transition: ease 0.4s all;

}



.category-big-box:hover .category-overlay {

  top: 15px;

  transform: none;

  left: 0;

}



.category-box:hover .category-overlay {

  height: calc(100% - 30px);

  width: 100%;

}



.category-box:hover .category-img img {

  -webkit-transform: scale(1.2);

  -moz-transform: scale(1.2);

  -ms-transform: scale(1.2);

  transform: scale(1.2);

}

<div class="category-box category-big-box">

  <div class="category-img">

    <img src="https://timeless-dubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i3.jpg" alt="Category Image">

  </div>

  <div class="category-content">

    some content

  </div>

  <div class="category-overlay"></div>

</div>

If you want to be 100% sure that an absolute positioned element is centered, you can use these properties:

/* Center horizontally */

right: 0;

left: 0;

margin: auto;



/* Center vertically */

top: 50%;

transform: translateY(-50%);

#container {

  width: 100px;

  height: 100px;

  background: red;

  position: relative;

}



#child {

  width: 30px;

  height: 30px;

  background: yellow;

  position: absolute;

  right: 0;

  left: 0;

  margin: auto;

  top: 50%;

  transform: translateY(-50%)

}

<div id="container">

  <div id="child"></div>

</div>

in .category-overlay use this

  top: calc(50% + 88px);

  left: calc(50% + 155px);

The 88px and 155px are half of the box size so it should be the middle of your content.

.category-box {

  padding: 15px 0;

  position: relative;

}



.category-img {

  overflow: hidden;

}



.category-img img {

  width: 100%;

  object-fit: cover;

  object-position: center;

  -webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  transition: ease 0.4s all;

}



.category-big-box .category-img img {

  height: 500px;

}



.category-content {

  position: absolute;

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

Nice approach sir, but when it comes to responsive it's not going to work properly sir. So it will be a remaining problem now.

You can just remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%); on .category-overlay:

.category-box {

  padding: 15px 0;

  position: relative;

}



.category-img {

  overflow: hidden;

}



.category-img img {

  width: 100%;

  object-fit: cover;

  object-position: center;

  -webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  transition: ease 0.4s all;

}



.category-big-box .category-img img {

  height: 500px;

}



.category-content {

  position: absolute;

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  background-color: #000000;

  color: white;

  padding: 25px;

  text-align: center;

  min-width: 260px;

  min-height: 125px;

  display: -webkit-flex;

  display: -ms-flexbox;

  -webkit-flex-direction: column;

  -ms-flex-direction: column;

  flex-direction: column;

  justify-content: center;

  align-items: center;

  z-index: 1;

}



.category-overlay {

  position: absolute;

  left: 0;

  height: 0;

  width: 0;

  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45);

  top: 50%;

  left: 50%;

  /*-webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -moz-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);*/

  -webkit-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -moz-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  -ms-transition: ease 0.4s all;

  transition: ease 0.4s all;

}



.category-big-box:hover .category-overlay {

  top: 15px;

  transform: none;

  left: 0;

}



.category-box:hover .category-overlay {

  height: calc(100% - 30px);

  width: 100%;

}



.category-box:hover .category-img img {

  -webkit-transform: scale(1.2);

  -moz-transform: scale(1.2);

  -ms-transform: scale(1.2);

  transform: scale(1.2);

}

<div class="category-box category-big-box">

  <div class="category-img">

    <img src="https://timeless-dubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i3.jpg" alt="Category Image">

  </div>

  <div class="category-content">

    some content

  </div>

  <div class="category-overlay"></div>

</div>

If you want to be 100% sure that an absolute positioned element is centered, you can use these properties:

/* Center horizontally */

right: 0;

left: 0;

margin: auto;



/* Center vertically */

top: 50%;

transform: translateY(-50%);

#container {

  width: 100px;

  height: 100px;

  background: red;

  position: relative;

}



#child {

  width: 30px;

  height: 30px;

  background: yellow;

  position: absolute;

  right: 0;

  left: 0;

  margin: auto;

  top: 50%;

  transform: translateY(-50%)

}

<div id="container">

  <div id="child"></div>

in .category-overlay use this

  top: calc(50% + 88px);

The 88px and 155px are half of the box size so it should be the middle of your content.

Nice approach sir, but when it comes to responsive it's not going to work properly sir. So it will be a remaining problem now.
