Introduction

The mask-repeat CSS property controls how mask images are repeated within an element. It lets you decide if the image repeats along the horizontal axis, vertical axis, both, or not at all. By default, images are clipped to fit the element’s size, but you can also scale or distribute them evenly.

This feature became available in December 2023 and works well on the latest devices and browsers, though it might not function on older ones.

Description

The mask-repeat property controls how mask images repeat within an element. You can specify repetition along the horizontal axis, vertical axis, both, or none at all. By default, images are clipped to fit the element, but you can scale them or distribute them evenly.

Syntax

The mask-repeat property accepts one or more <repeat-style> values, separated by commas.
