Blurring an image via CSS?

With CSS3 we can easily adjust an image. But remember this does not change the image. It only displays the adjusted image.

See the following code for more details.

To make an image gray:

img {
 -webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
}

To give a sepia look:

img {
 -webkit-filter: sepia(100%);
}

To adjust brightness:

img {
 -webkit-filter: brightness(50%);
}

To adjust contrast:

img {
 -webkit-filter: contrast(200%);
}

To Blur an image:

img {
 -webkit-filter: blur(10px);
}

You should also do it for different browser. That is include all css statements

  filter: grayscale(100%);
 -webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
 -moz-filter: grayscale(100%);

To use multiple

 filter: blur(5px) grayscale(1);

Codepen Demo


You can use CSS3 filters. They are relatively easy to implement, though are only supported on webkit at the minute. Samsung Galaxy 2's browser should support though, as I think that's a webkit browser?
