CSS | Opacity / Transparency

The opacity is the property of an element which describes the transparency of the element.

Image Opacity: The opacity property is used in the image to describes the transparency of the image. The value of opacity lies between 0.0 to 1.0 where a low value represents high transparent and high value represents low transparent. The percentage of opacity is calculated as Opacity% = Opacity * 100

Example:



filter_none

The value of opacity can easily reverse the process by setting the opacity as a higher value at first and then lowering it when hovering over it like:

    opacity: 1.0;
}

.hightolow:hover {
    opacity: 0.5;
}
