Css mask not working on Chrome (Webkit)

This is not currently working in Chrome (Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)). You can see this in the example at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mask-image#Browser_compatibility. In FireFox, the green looks like a star. On Chrome, it is just a box, although it does work if you use the -webkit prefix. However, changing that .svg to your .jpg makes it fail. Take their example:

<div id="masked"></div>

#masked {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: #8cffa0;
  -webkit-mask-image: url(https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/12676/star.svg);
}

and it works. But replace the url with yours:

http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/mask-01.jpg

and you will see it doesn't work.

As sheriffderek pointed out, it's always best to start with the simplest possible example.

Solution 2

The mask that the browser expects is not like a Photoshop/Illustrator mask where the white/black corresponds to show/hide. Instead it should be: black/transparent corresponds to show/hide.

Here is the CSS that gets it working with your mask (I turned your mask into a PNG to support transparency, then made the white part transparent):

#masked {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: #8cffa0;
  -webkit-mask-image: url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/yl5tc.png);
  -webkit-mask-size: 100px 100px;
  mask-image: url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/yl5tc.png);
  mask-size: 100px 100px;
}

Also note that your mask is much bigger than the masked div's width and height so you have to also specify mask-size/-webkit-mask-size. My corrected PNG mask image is also attached.

You can also see in the same Mozilla doc page that you mentioned that they used a linear-gradient as a mask and this gradient has two stops: black and transparent: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 1.0), transparent);

Correct PNG-based mask with black corresponding to "show" and transparent corresponding to "hide"

    I have a problem: I made a picture with some layer and wanted to mask them with the mask css property. It works fine on Firefox, whereas on Chrome it doesn't even with the -webkit- prefixe.

    Here is the code, note the mask is applied on #plan-1

    Maybe Chrome can't make a mask from a jpeg ? :o

    body{
                margin: 0;
                background-color:black;
                transform: translateZ(0);
                height: 100vh;
                width: 100vw;
                overflow: hidden;
                }
    section{
                display: block;
                background-position: center;
                height: 100%;
                width: 100%;
                position: absolute;
                margin: auto;
    
           }
           
    #plan-1{
        mask-image: url('http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/mask-01.jpg'); /*Option de Masque*/
        mask-position:center;
        mask-mode: luminance;
        mask-size: contain;
    
        -webkit-mask-image: url('http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/mask-01.jpg'); /*Webkit*/
        -webkit-mask-position:center;
        -webkit-mask-size: contain;
        -webkit-mask-type: luminance;
    
    
        background:url("http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/03.jpg") no-repeat center;
        background-size: contain;
    
        z-index: 15;
    }
    
    #plan-2{
        background-color:red;
        background-size: contain;
    
        z-index: 5;
    }
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <div id="align">
    <section id="plan-1"></section>
    <section id="plan-2"></section>
    </div>

    EDIT

    As WahhabB said, I made a vector based image out of the mask (by vectorise with illustrator/inskape).

    Unfortunately, It doesn't work.

    body{
                margin: 0;
                background-color:black;
                transform: translateZ(0);
                height: 100vh;
                width: 100vw;
                overflow: hidden;
                }
    section{
                display: block;
                background-position: center;
                height: 100%;
                width: 100%;
                position: absolute;
                margin: auto;
    
           }
           
    #plan-1{
        mask-image: url('http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/mask-01.svg'); /*Option de Masque*/
        mask-position:center;
        mask-mode: luminance;
        mask-size: contain;
    
        -webkit-mask-image: url('http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/mask-01.svg'); /*Webkit*/
        -webkit-mask-position:center;
        -webkit-mask-size: contain;
        -webkit-mask-type: luminance;
    
    
        background:url("http://felixjely.fr/projet/DGN1/film-couloir/img/piranese/03.jpg") no-repeat center;
        background-size: contain;
    
        z-index: 15;
    }
    
    #plan-2{
        background-color:red;
        background-size: contain;
