Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
the preserveAlpha
attribute indicates how a <feConvolveMatrix>
element handles alpha transparency.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 420 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<filter id="convolveMatrix1" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<feConvolveMatrix kernelMatrix="1 -1 2 0 0 0 0 0 -2" preserveAlpha="true" />
</filter>
<filter id="convolveMatrix2" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<feConvolveMatrix
kernelMatrix="1 -1 2 0 0 0 0 0 -2"
preserveAlpha="false" />
</filter>
<image
href="mdn_logo_only_color.png"
width="200"
height="200"
style="filter:url(#convolveMatrix1);" />
<image

width="200"
height="200"
style="filter:url(#convolveMatrix2); transform:translateX(220px);" />
</svg>
Usage notes
Default value | false |
---|---|
Value | true | false |
Animatable | Yes |
true
-
This value indicates that the convolution is applied only to the color channels. In this case, the filter temporarily removes alpha premultiplication from the color component values, applies the kernel, and then reapplies alpha premultiplication as a final step.
false
-
This value indicates that the convolution is applied to all channels, including the alpha channel.
