Removing filters

<div class="blur-md invert brightness-150 md:filter-none">
</div>

This can be useful when you want to remove filters conditionally, such as on hover or at a particular breakpoint.

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:brightness-150 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:brightness-150 to apply the brightness-150 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="brightness-110 md:brightness-150">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

By default, Tailwind includes a handful of general purpose utilities. You can customize these values by editing theme.brightness or theme.extend.brightness in your tailwind.config.js file.

tailwind.config.js

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off brightness 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="brightness-[1.75]">
</div>
