❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine multiple filters? ▼

Yes! The tool combines all active filters into a single filter property. Just adjust each slider – they are additive.

What units are used? ▼

Blur uses px, hue‑rotate uses deg, and all other filters use percentages (%). This matches standard CSS usage.

Why do brightness/contrast/saturate default to 100%? ▼

Because 100% means no change. Values below 100% reduce the effect, above 100% increase it.

Can I use these filters on any HTML element? ▼

Yes, the filter property works on images, text, divs, and most elements. However, it can affect performance on large areas.

🧠 Why Use CSS Filters?

CSS filters let you apply graphical effects like blur, grayscale, and sepia directly in the browser – no image editor required. They're great for hover effects, image galleries, and creating visual consistency.

🎯 Hover effects

Brighten or desaturate images on hover for subtle interactivity.

⚡ Performance

Filters are hardware‑accelerated on most modern devices.

🎨 Theming

Apply sepia or grayscale for a unified look.
