The filter CSS property lets you apply graphical effects like blurring or color shifting to an element. Filters are commonly used to adjust the rendering of images, backgrounds, and borders.
Included in the CSS standard are several functions that achieve predefined effects. You can also reference an SVG filter with a URL to an SVG filter element.
With a function, use the following:
filter: <filter-function> [<filter-function>]* | none
For a reference to an SVG <filter> element, use the following:
filter: url(file.svg#filter-element-id)
If both the beginning and end filters have a function list of the same length without <url>, each of their filter functions is interpolated according to its specific rules. If they have different lengths, the missing equivalent filter functions from the longer list are added to the end of the shorter list using their lacuna values, then all filter functions are interpolated according to their specific rules. If one filter is none, it is replaced with the filter functions list of the other one using the filter function default values, then all filter functions are interpolated according to their specific rules. Otherwise, discrete interpolation is used.
none | <filter-function-list>where
<filter-function-list> = [ <filter-function> | <url> ]+where
<filter-function> = <blur()> | <brightness()> | <contrast()> | <drop-shadow()> | <grayscale()> | <hue-rotate()> | <invert()> | <opacity()> | <saturate()> | <sepia()>where
<blur()> = blur( <length> )
<brightness()> = brightness( <number-percentage> )
<contrast()> = contrast( [ <number-percentage> ] )
<drop-shadow()> = drop-shadow( <length>{2,3} <color>? )
<grayscale()> = grayscale( <number-percentage> )
<hue-rotate()> = hue-rotate( <angle> )
<invert()> = invert( <number-percentage> )
<opacity()> = opacity( [ <number-percentage> ] )
<saturate()> = saturate( <number-percentage> )
<sepia()> = sepia( <number-percentage> )where
<number-percentage> = <number> | <percentage>
<color> = <rgb()> | <rgba()> | <hsl()> | <hsla()> | <hex-color> | <named-color> | currentcolor | <deprecated-system-color>where
<rgb()> = rgb( [ [ <percentage>{3} | <number>{3} ] [ / <alpha-value> ]? ] | [ [ <percentage>#{3} | <number>#{3} ] , <alpha-value>? ] )
<rgba()> = rgba( [ [ <percentage>{3} | <number>{3} ] [ / <alpha-value> ]? ] | [ [ <percentage>#{3} | <number>#{3} ] , <alpha-value>? ] )
<hsl()> = hsl( [ <hue> <percentage> <percentage> [ / <alpha-value> ]? ] | [ <hue>, <percentage>, <percentage>, <alpha-value>? ] )
<hsla()> = hsla( [ <hue> <percentage> <percentage> [ / <alpha-value> ]? ] | [ <hue>, <percentage>, <percentage>, <alpha-value>? ] )where
<alpha-value> = <number> | <percentage>
<hue> = <number> | <angle>
Examples of using the predefined functions are shown below. See each function for a specific example.
.mydiv {
filter: grayscale(50%);
}
/* Gray all images by 50% and blur by 10px */
img {
filter: grayscale(0.5) blur(10px);
} Examples of using the URL function with an SVG resource are shown below.
.target {
filter: url(#c1);
}
.mydiv {
filter: url(commonfilters.xml#large-blur);
}
The filter property is specified as one of the functions listed below. If the parameter for any function is invalid, the function returns none. Except where noted, the functions that take a value expressed with a percent sign (as in 34%) also accept the value expressed as decimal (as in 0.34).
url()Takes an IRI pointing to an SVG filter, which may be embedded in an external XML file.
filter: url(resources.svg#c1)
blur()Applies a Gaussian blur to the input image. The value of radius defines the value of the standard deviation to the Gaussian function, or how many pixels on the screen blend into each other, so a larger value will create more blur. The lacuna value for interpolation is 0. The parameter is specified as a CSS length, but does not accept percentage values.
filter: blur(5px)

drop-shadow()Applies a drop shadow effect to the input image. A drop shadow is effectively a blurred, offset version of the input image's alpha mask drawn in a particular color, composited below the image. The function accepts a parameter of type <shadow> (defined in CSS3 Backgrounds), with the exception that the inset keyword is not allowed. This function is similar to the more established box-shadow property; the difference is that with filters, some browsers provide hardware acceleration for better performance. The parameters of the <shadow> parameter are as follows.
<offset-x> <offset-y> (required)
<length> values to set the shadow offset. <offset-x> specifies the horizontal distance. Negative values place the shadow to the left of the element. <offset-y> specifies the vertical distance. Negative values place the shadow above the element. See <length> for possible units.0, the shadow is placed behind the element (and may generate a blur effect if <blur-radius> and/or <spread-radius> is set).<blur-radius> (optional)
<length> value. The larger this value, the bigger the blur, so the shadow becomes bigger and lighter. Negative values are not allowed. If not specified, it will be 0 (the shadow's edge is sharp).<spread-radius> (optional)
<length> value. Positive values will cause the shadow to expand and grow bigger, and negative values will cause the shadow to shrink. If not specified, it will be 0 (the shadow will be the same size as the element).<color> (optional)
<color> values for possible keywords and notations. If not specified, the color depends on the browser. In Gecko (Firefox), Presto (Opera) and Trident (Internet Explorer), the value of the color property is used. On the other hand, WebKit's shadow is transparent and therefore useless if <color> is omitted.filter: drop-shadow(16px 16px 10px black)

opacity()Applies transparency to the samples in the input image. The value of amount defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 0% is completely transparent. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. This is equivalent to multiplying the input image samples by amount. The lacuna value for interpolation is 1. This function is similar to the more established opacity property; the difference is that with filters, some browsers provide hardware acceleration for better performance.

saturate()Saturates the input image. The value of amount defines the proportion of the conversion. A value of 0% is completely un-saturated. A value of 100% leaves the input unchanged. Other values are linear multipliers on the effect. Values of amount over 100% are allowed, providing super-saturated results. The lacuna value for interpolation is 1.

1. In Chrome 18 to 19, the saturate() function only takes integers instead of decimal or percentage values. From Chrome 20, this bug is fixed.
2. From version 34: this feature is behind the layout.css.filters.enabled preference (needs to be set to true). To change preferences in Firefox, visit about:config.
3. From version 46: this feature is behind the layout.css.prefixes.webkit preference (needs to be set to true). To change preferences in Firefox, visit about:config.
4. Internet Explorer 4 to 9 implemented a non-standard filter property. The syntax was completely different from this one and is not documented here.
