How to use CSS Filter Generator

  1. Drag the sliders for blur, brightness, contrast and the other filter functions to build your effect.
  2. Optionally enable drop-shadow and set its offset, blur and color.
  3. Click 'Use sample' or upload your own image to preview the filter on real content.
  4. Click Copy CSS to grab the generated filter property.

What is CSS Filter Generator?

The CSS Filter Generator lets you stack graphical effects on any element using the filter property. Drag the sliders for blur, brightness, contrast, grayscale, hue-rotate, invert, opacity, saturate and sepia, then optionally add a drop-shadow() with its own offset, blur and color.

Every change updates the live preview instantly. Test on the built-in colorful sample, or upload your own image to see exactly how the filter looks on real content before you ship it. The image stays on your device — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Start from a preset such as vintage, B&W, warm, cold, dramatic or blur-focus to get close fast, then fine-tune. When it looks right, copy the one-line filter declaration straight into your stylesheet.

FAQ

What does the CSS filter property do?
filter applies graphical effects like blur, brightness, contrast, grayscale, hue-rotate and drop-shadow to an element before it is rendered. You can combine several functions in one declaration, and they apply in the order you list them.
Is my uploaded image sent anywhere?
No. The image is loaded with a local object URL purely for preview and never leaves your browser. The whole tool runs client-side, so your files stay private on your device.
