Grayscale

Utilities for applying grayscale filters to an element.

Use the and grayscale-0 utilities to control whether an element should be rendered as grayscale or in full color.

Removing filters

To remove all of the filters on an element at once, use the filter-none utility:

<div class="blur-md invert grayscale md:filter-none">
</div>

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:grayscale-0 to only apply the utility on hover.

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:grayscale-0 to apply the grayscale-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="grayscale md:grayscale-0">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off grayscale value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

<div class="grayscale-[50%]">
</div>
