Backdrop Invert

​

Basic usage

​

Inverting an element's backdrop

Use the backdrop-invert and backdrop-invert-0 utilities to control whether an element should be rendered with inverted backdrop colors or normally.

backdrop-invert-0

backdrop-invert

<div class="backdrop-invert-0 bg-white/30 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
<div class="backdrop-invert bg-white/30 ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

​

Removing backdrop filters

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

<div class="backdrop-blur-md backdrop-invert md:backdrop-filter-none">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

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

​

Applying conditionally

​

Hover, focus, and other states

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

<div class="backdrop-invert hover:backdrop-invert-0">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

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:backdrop-invert-0 to apply the backdrop-invert-0 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

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

To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, Dark Mode and other media query modifiers.

​

Using custom values

​

Customizing your theme

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

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      backdropInvert: {
        25: '.25',
        75: '.75',
      }
    }
  }
}

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

​

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off backdrop-invert 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="backdrop-invert-[.25]">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
