Invert colors of an image in CSS or JavaScript

Can be done in major new broswers using the code below

.img {
    -webkit-filter:invert(100%);
     filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(invert='1');
}

However, if you want it to work across all browsers you need to use Javascript. Something like this gist will do the job.

You can apply the style via javascript. This is the Js code below that applies the filter to the image with the ID theImage.

function invert(){
document.getElementById("theImage").style.filter="invert(100%)";
}

And this is the

<img id="theImage" class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/1H91A5Y.png"></img>

Now all you need to do is call invert() We do this when the image is clicked.

function invert(){
document.getElementById("theImage").style.filter="invert(100%)";
}

<h4> Click image to invert </h4>

<img id="theImage" class="img-responsive" src="http://i.imgur.com/1H91A5Y.png" onClick="invert()" ></img>

We use this on our website

CSS3 has a new filter attribute which will only work in webkit browsers supported in webkit browsers and in Firefox. It does not have support in IE or Opera mini:

img {
   -webkit-filter: invert(1);
   filter: invert(1);
   }
