Blur

Usage

Use the blur-{amount?} utilities alongside the filter utility to blur an element.

<div class="filter blur-lg ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Responsive

To control an element’s blur at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing blur utility. For example, use md:blur-lg to apply the blur-lg utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="filter blur-sm md:blur-lg ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing

You can customize which blur utilities are generated using the blur key in the theme section of your tailwind.config.js file.

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    theme: {
+     extend: {
+       blur: {
+         xs: '2px',
+       }
+     }
    }
  }

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

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for blur utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the blur utilities by modifying the blur property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    variants: {
      extend: {
        // ...
+       blur: ['hover', 'focus'],
      }
    }
  }

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the blur utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the blur property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

  // tailwind.config.js
  module.exports = {
    corePlugins: {
      // ...
+     blur: false,
    }
  }
