CSS Inline SVG Filter: A Powerful Image Processing Tips
A "I Learned Today" (TIL) article by Stefan Judis explains how to inline SVG filters in CSS. filter attribute of CSS supports some built-in functions, such as grayscale(100%) , etc. But it can also point to filters defined by SVG. You can use filter: url(#my-custom-filter) where the filter is defined inline<svg></svg> In the element, as<filter></filter> Part of the element. This method requires reference to HTML, which is a bit clumsy. Filters are visual effects that are more logical to integrate into CSS. Examples are as follows:
img {
filter: url('data:image/svg xml,\
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">\
<filter color-interpolation-filters="linearRGB" filterunits="objectBoundingBox" height="140%" primitiveunits="userSpaceOnUse" width="140%" x="-20%" y="-20%"> \
<feturbulence basefrequency="0.01 0.01" numoctaves="1" result="turbulence" seed="1" stitchtiles="noStitch" type="turbulence"></feturbulence> \
<fedisplacementmap in="SourceGraphic" in2="turbulence" result="displacementMap" scale="20" xchannelselector="G" ychannelselector="A"></fedisplacementmap> \
</filter>\
</svg>#waves')
;
}
This is Stefan's turbulence filter example, which is not possible with CSS alone.
Please note the large number of backslashes ( \ ). This makes one hope that CSS can also support template literals. At the same time, it also concerns whether the code formatting tools or compression tools will handle these backslashes, but in reality, this may not cause any problem.
Thankfully, the SVG code maintains good readability and editability. Therefore, you can edit the SVG filters directly in CSS and experiment.
The same applies to Yoksel's tools. Its editor for two- and three-color images is very cool. You can also apply these filters directly to CSS.
However, SVGs inlined into CSS are not limited to filters. You can also embed SVG drawings directly into CSS.
This method works fine in modern browsers (except Safari). But in the near future, we need to encode special characters in SVG more to make them work (although base64 encoding is not required). Yoskel's URL encoder is designed for this, but I don't know if it's still necessary now.
The above is the detailed content of SVG within CSS. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!

What is 'render-blocking CSS'?
Jun 24, 2025 am 12:42 AM
CSS blocks page rendering because browsers view inline and external CSS as key resources by default, especially with imported stylesheets, header large amounts of inline CSS, and unoptimized media query styles. 1. Extract critical CSS and embed it into HTML; 2. Delay loading non-critical CSS through JavaScript; 3. Use media attributes to optimize loading such as print styles; 4. Compress and merge CSS to reduce requests. It is recommended to use tools to extract key CSS, combine rel="preload" asynchronous loading, and use media delayed loading reasonably to avoid excessive splitting and complex script control.

What is Autoprefixer and how does it work?
Jul 02, 2025 am 01:15 AM
Autoprefixer is a tool that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS attributes based on the target browser scope. 1. It solves the problem of manually maintaining prefixes with errors; 2. Work through the PostCSS plug-in form, parse CSS, analyze attributes that need to be prefixed, and generate code according to configuration; 3. The usage steps include installing plug-ins, setting browserslist, and enabling them in the build process; 4. Notes include not manually adding prefixes, keeping configuration updates, prefixes not all attributes, and it is recommended to use them with the preprocessor.

CSS: When Does Case Matter (and When Doesn't)?
Jun 19, 2025 am 12:27 AM
In CSS, selector and attribute names are case-sensitive, while values, named colors, URLs, and custom attributes are case-sensitive. 1. The selector and attribute names are case-insensitive, such as background-color and background-Color are the same. 2. The hexadecimal color in the value is case-sensitive, but the named color is case-sensitive, such as red and Red is invalid. 3. URLs are case sensitive and may cause file loading problems. 4. Custom properties (variables) are case sensitive, and you need to pay attention to the consistency of case when using them.
