Spin or rotate an image on hover

You can use CSS3 transitions with rotate() to spin the image on hover.

Rotating image :

img {
  transition: transform .7s ease-in-out;
}
img:hover {
  transform: rotate(360deg);
}
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BLkKe.jpg" width="100" height="100"/>

Here is a fiddle DEMO
