Frequently Asked Questions

CSS filter is a shorthand that applies common graphical effects (blur, brightness, contrast, etc.) using hardware-accelerated rendering. SVG filters offer far more flexibility — custom convolution kernels, displacement maps, lighting effects — but require writing XML and are more complex. For standard photo effects, CSS filter is always the right choice.

Yes, some CSS filters (especially blur) can be GPU-intensive. They trigger compositing layers which may cause repaints. For static images it's generally fine, but avoid animating filter on many elements simultaneously. Use will-change: filter to hint the browser ahead of time when you know an animation will occur.

CSS filter is supported in Chrome 18+, Firefox 35+, Safari 6+, and Edge 12+. The -webkit- prefix is still required for some older Safari builds. drop-shadow() inside filter is slightly different from box-shadow — it follows the alpha channel of the element, respecting transparency.
