Text descriptions cannot compete with visual previews—seeing is understanding. This React tooltip pattern shows image thumbnails with title and description using flex-col layout and edge-to-edge image display. Built with shadcn/ui Tooltip and Radix UI primitives with p-0 wrapper and p-3 content padding, the visual preview provides instant recognition—perfect for product previews, image galleries, avatar hovers, thumbnail expansions, file previews, or any interface element where a picture reveals more than text descriptions and hover-triggered previews help users identify content before clicking through.
