backdrop-filter: grayscale()

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like backdrop-grayscale-50 and backdrop-grayscale to control the grayscale effect applied to an element's backdrop:

backdrop-grayscale-0

backdrop-grayscale-50

backdrop-grayscale

<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-grayscale-0 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-grayscale-50 ..."></div></div><div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-grayscale-200 ..."></div></div>

Using a custom value

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

<div class="backdrop-grayscale-[0.5] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

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

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

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

Responsive design

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

<div class="backdrop-grayscale md:backdrop-grayscale-0 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>
