filter: brightness()

Utilities for applying brightness filters to an element.

Source: https://tailwindcss.com/guide/filter-brightness

Quick reference

• brightness-[<value>], brightness-(<custom-property>), preset utilities like brightness-110, brightness-150

Examples

Basic example

Use utilities like brightness-110 and brightness-150 to increase the brightness of an element:

<img class="brightness-110" src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
<img class="brightness-150" src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Using a custom value

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

<img class="brightness-[1.25] ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

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

<img class="brightness-(--my-brightness) ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

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

Responsive design

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

<img class="brightness-110 md:brightness-150 ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
