Backdrop Filter

Tailwind CSS version

v2.1+

Utilities for enabling and disabling backdrop filters on an element.

Default class reference

Usage

Use the backdrop-filter utility to enable backdrop filters (in combination with other backdrop filter utilities like backdrop-blur or backdrop-grayscale), and the backdrop-filter-none utility to remove filters.

<div class="backdrop-filter backdrop-grayscale backdrop-blur-md backdrop-contrast-200 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Responsive

To control backdrop filters at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing backdrop filter utility. For example, use md:backdrop-filter-none to apply the backdrop-filter-none utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="backdrop-filter backdrop-blur-lg md:backdrop-filter-none ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for backdrop-filter utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the backdrop-filter utilities by modifying the backdropFilter property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       backdropFilter: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the backdrop-filter utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the backdropFilter property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     backdropFilter: false,
    }
  }
