Frequently Asked Questions

mix-blend-mode is a CSS property that defines how an element’s content should blend with its parent’s background. It works similarly to blend modes in graphic editors like Photoshop, allowing you to create overlay, multiply, screen, and many other blending effects directly in the browser.

The browser takes the pixel color values of the element (the source) and the pixels directly behind it (the backdrop) and combines them according to the specified blend mode formula. The result is a new color that gives the visual effect of blending.

The CSS specification includes 16 values: normal, multiply, screen, overlay, darken, lighten, color-dodge, color-burn, hard-light, soft-light, difference, exclusion, hue, saturation, color, and luminosity. Use the dropdown above to test each one in real time.

You can apply mix-blend-mode to any element, including <img> and text containers. For example, to blend a heading over a hero image, set mix-blend-mode: difference; on the heading and ensure the image is behind it (e.g., using a parent with a background image).

mix-blend-mode is widely supported in all modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It is safe to use in production, but always test your specific design across browsers, especially when combining with other advanced CSS features.
