What is Glassmorphism?
Glassmorphism is a modern UI design trend that emphasizes light and dark objects placed on top of colorful backgrounds. Ideally, these objects are given a "frosted glass" effect using a background blur. This allows the background to shine through, giving the interface a sense of verticality and depth.
This style became mainstream with the release of macOS Big Sur and Windows 11, moving away from the flat design (Material Design) trend of the 2010s.
How to use this Generator
- Adjust Blur: Use the "Blur Value" slider to control how frosted the glass looks. A higher value means the background is less visible.
- Set Transparency: The "Transparency" slider controls the alpha channel of the background color. Lower values make it more see-through.
- Copy CSS: Once satisfied, click the "Copy CSS" button to get the cross-browser compatible code.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What CSS property creates the glass effect?
The primary property is backdrop-filter: blur(10px);. However, for it to work, the element's background-color must be semi-transparent (e.g., rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)).
Is Glassmorphism bad for performance?
In most cases, no. Modern browsers handle backdrop-filter efficiently using the GPU. However, overusing it on large areas or on mobile devices with low graphical power can cause minor frame drops.
Does this work on all browsers?
Yes, but some older versions of webkit browsers require the -webkit-backdrop-filter prefix, which our tool automatically includes for you.
