FAQ
What does the CSS filter property do?+

The CSS filter property applies graphical effects — blur, brightness, contrast, grayscale, sepia, hue-rotate, saturate, invert, and opacity — directly to an HTML element through the browser's rendering engine. Multiple functions can be chained in a single declaration and they render in order from left to right.

Can I stack multiple filters at once?+

Yes. The CSS filter property accepts a space-separated list of functions, for example filter: brightness(110%) contrast(130%) sepia(20%). This generator builds and previews the combined effect live as you move the sliders.

Does CSS filter affect child elements?+

Yes — filter is applied to the element and all of its descendants as a single composited layer. If you only want to filter a background image without affecting text, use backdrop-filter on a pseudo-element or an absolutely-positioned child instead.

Is CSS filter supported in all browsers?+

The filter property has full support in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Internet Explorer is the only major exception — it had a legacy proprietary filter syntax that differs from the CSS specification.
