backdrop-filter

Examples

Basic example

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

backdrop-blur-xs

backdrop-grayscale

combined

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] ...">
  <div class="backdrop-blur-xs ..."></div>
</div>
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] ...">
  <div class="backdrop-grayscale ..."></div>
</div>
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] ...">
  <div class="backdrop-blur-xs backdrop-grayscale ..."></div>
</div>

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

Removing filters

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

<div class="backdrop-blur-md backdrop-brightness-150 md:backdrop-filter-none"></div>

Using a custom value

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

<div class="backdrop-filter-[url('filters.svg#filter-id')] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

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

<div class="backdrop-filter-(--my-backdrop-filter) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

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

Applying on hover

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

<div class="backdrop-blur-sm hover:backdrop-filter-none ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.

Responsive design

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

<div class="backdrop-blur-sm md:backdrop-filter-none ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
