CSS
How it works
- Drag any slider — blur, brightness, contrast, saturate, grayscale, or hue rotate.
- The preview box updates live using the CSS
filterproperty. - Copy the generated
filterdeclaration and paste it into your stylesheet.
FAQ
Can I apply these filters to an image instead of the gradient?
The generated CSS works on any element, including <img> tags — swap the selector and paste the filter property into your own stylesheet.
Do CSS filters affect page performance?
Blur and drop-shadow are the most expensive since they trigger a repaint on every frame if animated; brightness, contrast, and hue-rotate are comparatively cheap.
Are CSS filters supported in all browsers?
Yes — the filter property has been supported in all major browsers since 2017.
Does this tool upload anything?
No — the preview is a CSS gradient rendered locally, and the filter values are combined into CSS text in your browser only.
