sepia()

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 sepia() CSS function converts the input image to sepia, giving it a warmer, more yellow/brown appearance. Its result is a <filter-function>.

Try it

filter: sepia(0);

filter: sepia(0.2);

filter: sepia(60%);

filter: sepia(1);

<section id="default-example">
  <img
    class="transition-all"
    id="example-element"
    src="/shared-assets/images/examples/firefox-logo.svg"
    width="200" />
</section>

Syntax

sepia(amount)

Parameters

amount Optional: The amount of the conversion, specified as a <number> or a <percentage>. A value of 100% is completely sepia, 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

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