CSS Image Reflection

In this chapter you will learn how to reflect an image.

The box-reflect property is used to create an image reflection.

The value of the box-reflect property can be: below, above, left , or right.

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.

Numbers followed by -webkit- specify the first version that worked with a prefix.

}

CSS Reflection With Gradient

We can also create a fade-out effect on the reflection.

Example

Create a fade-out effect on the reflection:

img {
  -webkit-box-reflect: below 0px linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0.0), rgba(0,0,0,0.4));
}
