# Filters
Filters can give a refreshing look to your website without overloading it.
They can enrich your designs to convey emotions.
They can mute a slider or section with videos without taking attention away from the important elements.
And filters help establish a solid foundation for foreground content, while taking care of accessibility.
You can add as many filters as you like.
Filters can be accessed from the Filters tab which is in the Effects tab of the Design tab.
