Glassmorphism
A frosted-glass UI card with backdrop blur, transparency, and a soft border. Built with pure CSS.
Generated CSS
.glass { background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25); backdrop-filter: blur(16px); -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(16px); border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2); box-shadow: 0 8px 32px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);}About Glassmorphism Generator
Glassmorphism is a UI design trend characterized by frosted-glass panels — elements with semi-transparent backgrounds, backdrop blur, and subtle borders that simulate light refraction. The effect is achieved with the CSS backdrop-filter property (CSS Filter Effects Level 2 specification) combined with rgba background colors and border styling. Unlike a solid colored panel, a glassmorphism card takes on the hues of whatever is rendered behind it, creating a sense of depth and layering that works especially well over gradient or photographic backgrounds.
How It Works
The generator controls four CSS properties: backdrop-filter: blur(Xpx) which applies a Gaussian blur to content behind the element, background: rgba(R,G,B,A) which sets the tinted semi-transparent fill, border: 1px solid rgba(R,G,B,A) which provides the edge highlight, and border-radius for the rounded corners.
The live preview renders the glass panel over a selectable gradient background from a set of vibrant presets. This is essential for evaluating the effect — on a white background, the glass appears nearly invisible. The preview switches instantly between background presets without changing the glass settings, allowing rapid evaluation of how the effect reads across different backgrounds.
The output CSS includes -webkit-backdrop-filter alongside backdrop-filter for compatibility with older Safari versions (Safari required the -webkit- prefix through version 12.1). Both declarations produce identical visual output on modern Safari.
Who Is This For
A designer implements a notification card overlay that floats over a blurred hero image, using a glassmorphism panel to maintain visual hierarchy without blocking the background.
A developer builds a settings sidebar that overlays a data-heavy dashboard, using the frosted glass effect to visually separate the panel from the content behind it.
A frontend engineer creates a glassmorphism pricing card for a landing page hero section, adjusting the blur and opacity until the text remains readable over the gradient background.
A developer experiments with different blur and opacity combinations to find the right balance between visual transparency and background contrast for a modal dialog.
