Sometimes, we want to change image opacity using JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at how to change image opacity using JavaScript.

Change Image Opacity Using JavaScript

To change image opacity using JavaScript, we can use the setAttribute method.

For instance, if we have the following image:

<img src='https://picsum.photos/200'>

We write:

document
  .querySelector("img")
  .setAttribute("style", "opacity:0.5; -moz-opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity=50)");

to select the img element with document.querySelector("img").

Then we call setAttribute with 'style' and "opacity:0.5; -moz-opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity=50)" to set the style attribute of the img element to opacity:0.5; -moz-opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity=50).

Therefore, we see that the resulting image displayed is translucent.

Conclusion

To change image opacity using JavaScript, we can use the setAttribute method.
