# [img2css](https://javier.xyz/img2css/)

Convert any image to pure CSS.

[![img2css](public/img2css.jpg)](https://javier.xyz/img2css/)

- To use it go to https://javier.xyz/img2css

- Looking for a programmatic way to do this? See https://github.com/javierbyte/canvas-image-utils

- I also made a per-pixel animation experiment, see https://github.com/javierbyte/morphin

## How does it work?

It has two different outputs, pure css shadow matrix [1] and base64 embedded image [2].

- **Pure CSS**: This output was created by resizing and setting each pixel as a box-shadow of a single pixel div, so no `img` tag or `background-image` is needed. This can result in huge outputs, and the use of this output is not recommended for production unless there is no other option.

- **Base64**: The entire image file is embedded inside the `` tag using base64, so no need external hosting is needed.
