img {
  -webkit-filter: blur(5px);
-moz-filter: blur(5px);
-o-filter: blur(5px);
-ms-filter: blur(5px);

try the filter like this: `filter: blur(1px) brightness(0.5);`. this will darken your image. — hmak.me, Aug 04 '16 at 03:41

You can use CSS pseudo element or other html element to achieve this. Here's an example using the pseudo element :before

.blur {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block; /* make the div not 100% */
}
/* the 'blur' effect */
.blur:before {
  content: '';
  background-color: #000;
  opacity: 0.5;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 1;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
}
.blur img {
  display: block; /* remove bottom space */
}

<div class="blur">
  <img src="http://i.imgur.com/v06GqMK.jpg" />
</div>

Simply use linear-gradient()

background: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.50)), url('image.png');

Should do the trick. Cheers.
