invert()

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨September 2016⁩.

The invert() CSS function inverts the color samples in the input image. Its result is a <filter-function>.

Try it

filter: invert(0);
filter: invert(0.3);
filter: invert(50%);
filter: invert(70%);
filter: invert(1);
<section id="default-example">
  <img

    src="/shared-assets/images/examples/firefox-logo.svg"
    width="200" />
</section>

Syntax

css
invert(amount)

Parameters

amount Optional

The amount of the conversion, specified as a <number> or a <percentage>. A value of 100% is completely inverted, while a value of 0% leaves the input unchanged. Values between 0% and 100% are linear multipliers on the effect. The initial value for interpolation is 0. The default value is 1.

Formal syntax

<invert()> = 
invert( [ <number> | <percentage> ]? )
