Frequently asked questions

How do I make an image black and white in CSS?

Apply filter: grayscale(100%) to the image. Use a smaller percentage for a partly faded look, and combine it with contrast for stronger tones.

Does the order of filters matter?

Yes. CSS applies filters from left to right, so contrast followed by brightness can look different from brightness followed by contrast. Keep the order the tool gives you.

Will the filter change my original image file?

No. The filter is only a CSS instruction that the browser applies when showing the image. The original file stays untouched.
