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> ]? )

Examples

Examples of correct values for sepia()

sepia(0)     /* No effect */
sepia(.65)   /* 65% sepia */

sepia()      /* Completely sepia */
sepia(100%)
