Filters

filter

Utilities for applying filters to an element.

| Class | Styles | | --- | --- | | filter-none | filter: none; | | filter-(<custom-property>) | filter: var(<custom-property>); | | filter-[<value>] | filter: <value>; |

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like blur-xs and grayscale to apply filters to an element:

blur-xs

grayscale

combined

<img class="blur-xs" src="/img/mountains.jpg" /><img class="grayscale" src="/img/mountains.jpg" /><img class="blur-xs grayscale" src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

You can combine the following filter utilities: blur , brightness , contrast , drop-shadow , grayscale , hue-rotate , invert , saturate , and sepia .

Removing filters

Use the filter-none utility to remove all of the filters applied to an element:

<img class="blur-md brightness-150 invert md:filter-none" src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Using a custom value

Use the filter-[<value>] syntax to set the filter based on a completely custom value:

<img class="filter-[url('filters.svg#filter-id')] ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

For CSS variables, you can also use the filter-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<img class="filter-(--my-filter) ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

This is just a shorthand for filter-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Applying on hover

Prefix a filter utility with a variant like hover:* to only apply the utility in that state:

<img class="blur-sm hover:filter-none ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .

Responsive design

Prefix a filter utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<img class="blur-sm md:filter-none ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
