HTML

About HTML Preprocessors

HTML preprocessors can make writing HTML more powerful or convenient. For instance, Markdown is designed to be easier to write and read for text documents and you could write a loop in Pug.

Adding Classes

In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body> tags in a basic HTML5 template. So you don't have access to higher-up elements like the <html> tag. If you want to add classes there that can affect the whole document, this is the place to do it.

About the <head>

In CodePen, whatever you write in the HTML editor is what goes within the <body> tags in a basic HTML5 template. If you need things in the <head> of the document, put that code here.

CSS

About CSS Preprocessors

CSS preprocessors help make authoring CSS easier. All of them offer things like variables and mixins to provide convenient abstractions.

CSS Base

About CSS Base

It's a common practice to apply CSS to a page that styles elements such that they are consistent across all browsers. We offer two of the most popular choices: normalize.css and a reset. Or, choose Neither and nothing will be applied.

Vendor Prefixing

About Vendor Prefixing

To get the best cross-browser support, it is a common practice to apply vendor prefixes to CSS properties and values that require them to work. For instance -webkit- or -moz-.

We offer two popular choices: Autoprefixer (which processes your CSS server-side) and -prefix-free (which applies prefixes via a script, client-side).

Add External Stylesheets/Pens

Any URLs added here will be added as <link>s in order, and before the CSS in the editor. You can use the CSS from another Pen by using its URL and the proper URL extension.

Powered by Algolia
About External Resources

You can apply CSS to your Pen from any stylesheet on the web. Just put a URL to it here and we'll apply it, in the order you have them, before the CSS in the Pen itself.

You can also link to another Pen here (use the .css URL Extension) and we'll pull the CSS from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, use the appropriate URL Extension and we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.

JavaScript

About JavaScript Preprocessors

JavaScript preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient.

Learn more · Versions

Babel includes JSX processing.

Add External Scripts/Pens

Any URL's added here will be added as <script>s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.

Powered by Algolia
About External Resources

You can apply a script from anywhere on the web to your Pen. Just put a URL to it here and we'll add it, in the order you have them, before the JavaScript in the Pen itself.

If the script you link to has the file extension of a preprocessor, we'll attempt to process it before applying.

You can also link to another Pen here, and we'll pull the JavaScript from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.

Packages

Add Packages

Search for and use JavaScript packages from npm here. By selecting a package, an import statement will be added to the top of the JavaScript editor for this package.

Powered by Algolia
About Packages

Using packages here is powered by esm.sh, which makes packages from npm not only available on a CDN, but prepares them for native JavaScript ESM usage.

All packages are different, so refer to their docs for how they work.

If you're using React / ReactDOM, make sure to turn on Babel for the JSX processing.

Behavior

Auto Save

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.

Format on Save

If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

                h1 Photoshop images with CSS blend-modes

.content__intro
  h2 Intro
  .description
    p Before I learned how to write "the codez" I was a photographer. In photoshop, there are 3 simple techniques to lighten, darken and colorize  images quickly. Now we can do these same techniques with CSS. 
  
.content__lighten
  h2  Lighten a dark image
  .description 
    h3 (under exposure)
    p Sometimes you get a dark image and you wish you could lighten it. Well you can—using the same quick method you'd use in photoshop. Just duplicate the layer and set it's blend mode to screen.
  
  .media-1
  
  .description 
    p Below I took the exact same image and gave it multiple backgrounds of itself. I know, this sounds weird, but you can totally create multiple background images in CSS.
    
    pre
      code background-image: url(photo-1.jpg), url(photo-2.jpg)
    
    p We can then lighten that image by adding: 
    
    pre
      code background-blend-mode: screen
      
    p In this case, I did three layers of the same image to make the effect stronger. You can add as many layers as you'd like.

 .content__darken
  h2  Darken a light image
  .description 
    h3 (over exposure)
    p Sometimes you get a light image and you wish that you could darken it. We can do that using the inverse of the method above.
  
  .media-1
  
  .description 
    p Again, we use the multiple background trick to make 2 layers of the same image. Then we set:
    
    pre
      code background-blend-mode: multiply
      
    p Boom! Done. Darkening accomplished.

  h2  Colorizing 1
  .description 
    p Sometimes you just want to make an image look cool. Maybe you want to colorize an image to set text over it. Regardless, colorizing is easy. 
  
  .media-1
  
  .description 
    p This time we use one image and a background color:
    
    pre
      code
      | background-image: url(image.jpg)
      | background-color: #0fc
      | background-blend-mode: multiply
  
  .media-2
  
  .description 
    p Below we use a "screen" blend mode:
    pre
      code
      | background-image: url(image.jpg)
      | background-color: tomato
      | background-blend-mode: screen
  
  .media-3
  
  .description 
    p Bleow we use an image with a "linear-gradient" background as a second image
    
    pre
      code
      | background-image:  url(image/jpg), linear-gradient(135deg, red, blue)
      | background-blend-mode: overlay
  
  .media-4
  
  .description 
    p Bleow is another, but using "hard-light" instead.
  
  pre
      code
      | background-image: url(image.jpg), linear-gradient(45deg, red, green, blue)
      | background-position: center center
      | background-blend-mode: hard-light

  h2  Colorizing 2
  .description 
    h3 (Black and White)
    p You can also turn a color image to a black-and-white image too, but the technique is a little different.
  
  .media-1
  
  .description 
    p This time we use a pseudo-element to place a background color over the image.
    
    pre
      code 
        | &::after
        |   content: ''
        |   position: absolute
        |   top: 0
        |   left: 0
        |   background-color: #ccc
        |   width: 100%
        |   height: 100%
        |   mix-blend-mode: color
      
    p You can use this technique to create any monotone image.

  .description 
    p I could do this forever. There are so many options. I'd argue that the most usable blend-modes are multiply, screen, overlay, soft-light, hard-light and color.
    
    p If you use a background-image and background-color on the same element, the image will alway sit on top. The blend mode is applied top down. Thus, the image ends, up with the blend-mode. 
    
    p To make some blend modes work, you need to place the background-color over the background-image. This requires using an absolutely positioned pseudo-element to sit on top of the image. We will also need to use "mix-blend-mode" instead of "background-blend-mode."
    
    h3 Important note!
    p While most of the exmaples in this pen used background images with blend-modes, you can use the technique in Colorize 2 to apply blend-modes to img tags. Just put a pseudo-element over the img and use "mix-blend-mode."
