Description
CSS filter property applies filter to an element. There are many functions that we can use to filter an element differently.
Syntax
filter : none | blur() | brightness() | contrast() | drop-shadow() | grayscale() | hue-rotate() | invert() | opacity() | sepia()
Property values
blur(+ve length)
-
It applies blur to an element.
It accepts only length value and not percentage value.
- Try it
filter: blur(10px); brightness(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
It determines the brightness of an element. 100% or 1 value does not affect the element while other values within the range (0-1 or 0%-100%) show an effect.
- Try it
filter: brightness(50%); contrast(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
It defines the contrast behavior of content. 100% value does not affect while the other values within the range (0-1 or 0%-100%) show a contrast behavior. 0% values show fully grayscale.
- Try it
filter: contrast(50%); drop-shadow(X-offset Y-offset blur-radius color)
-
It applies drop-shadow to the box (element). The parameter consists of horizontal-offset, vertical-offset, blur-radius, and color of the shadow.
- Try it
filter: drop-shadow(5px 5px 5px rgba(230,230,230,1)); grayscale(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
It converts an element into grayscale. 100% value means full grayscale.
- Try it
filter: grayscale(50%); hue-rotate(angle)
-
It represents huge rotation on the element. Actually, the parameter defines the number of degrees around the color circle to which the samle colors will be adjusted.
- Try it
filter: hue-rotate(30deg); invert(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
It completely inverts the sample of the element. The argument value defines the proportion of conversion. 0% does not affect the element. While 100% completely inverts the element.
- Try it
filter: invert(50%); opacity(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
It represents transparency of the object (element). 0% or 0 is fully opaque. And 100% or 1 is fully transparent.
- Try it
filter: opacity(60%); sepia(+ve-length or +ve-percentage)
-
converts an input element or image to sepia. Values vary between 0% (0) and 100% (1).
- Try it
filter: sepia(30%);
