  • Keep a copy of important source material until the output is verified.

Frequently asked questions

What can the CSS filter property do?

It applies graphical effects like blur, brightness, contrast, grayscale, hue-rotate and drop-shadow directly to an element without editing the source image.

Can I combine multiple filters?

Yes. List them space-separated, for example filter: contrast(1.2) brightness(1.1) blur(2px). They apply in order, left to right.

What is the difference between drop-shadow and box-shadow?

filter: drop-shadow follows the actual alpha shape of the content, so it works on transparent PNGs and icons, while box-shadow always traces the rectangular box.

Do filters affect performance?

Blur and large filters are GPU-intensive. Keep them light on elements that animate or appear many times on a page.

Does a filter change the underlying image?

No. It is a non-destructive visual effect applied at render time; the source file is untouched.

Is any data uploaded?

No. The CSS is generated locally in your browser.
