Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like backdrop-opacity-25 and backdrop-opacity-75 to control the opacity of an element's backdrop:

html
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">
  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-opacity-25 ..."></div>
</div>
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">
  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-opacity-50 ..."></div>
</div>
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]">
  <div class="bg-white/30 backdrop-opacity-75 ..."></div>
</div>

Using a custom value

Use the backdrop-opacity-[&lt;value&gt;] syntax to set the backdrop opacity based on a completely custom value:

html
<div class="backdrop-opacity-[.3] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the backdrop-opacity-(&lt;custom-property&gt;) syntax:

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

This is just a shorthand for backdrop-opacity-[var(&lt;custom-property&gt;)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

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

html
<div class="backdrop-opacity-25 md:backdrop-opacity-75 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
