CSS Filters

Visual effects for images and elements: blur, brightness, contrast, drop-shadow, and more.

1Common Filters

Combine multiple filter functions in a single declaration.

Example Code

.thumb {
  filter: brightness(1.1) contrast(1.05) saturate(1.2);
}
.thumb:hover { filter: none; }

Apply a filter to the area behind an element — useful for glass effects.

Example Code

.glass {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.18);
  backdrop-filter: blur(14px);
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(14px);
}

drop-shadow follows transparent edges (PNGs, SVGs). box-shadow uses the bounding box.

Example Code

.icon {
  filter: drop-shadow(0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.2));
}
