Glassmorphism Generator

Create beautiful frosted glass CSS effects with customizable blur, transparency, and border settings.

Glassmorphism, that frosted-glass look, relies on a specific combination of background blur, transparency, and subtle borders. This generator lets you tweak all the parameters visually and grab the CSS.

Glassmorphism Generator: a worked example

You want the frosted-glass card effect over a colourful background and keep getting an opaque grey box instead.

Settings

Blur 12px · Tint rgba(255,255,255,0.15) · Border 1px white 18% · Radius 16px
Glassmorphism Generator produces

CSS

.glass {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,0.15);
  backdrop-filter: blur(12px);
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(12px);
  border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.18);
  border-radius: 16px;
}

The effect only works when `backdrop-filter` blurs what is *behind* a semi-transparent background, a fully opaque background gives the grey box people get stuck on. The generator pairs a low-alpha fill with the blur and includes the `-webkit-` prefix for Safari, so it actually renders as frosted glass across browsers.

About the Glassmorphism Generator

Glassmorphism, that frosted-glass look, relies on a specific combination of background blur, transparency, and subtle borders. This generator lets you tweak all the parameters visually and grab the CSS.

Key features

  • Backdrop blur intensity slider
  • Background color and opacity control
  • Border and border-radius adjustments
  • Live preview on a customizable background
  • Copy-ready CSS with backdrop-filter

How to use

  1. 1Adjust blur intensity, background opacity, and border thickness.
  2. 2Pick a tint color.
  3. 3Preview against the background image.
  4. 4Copy the CSS.

How it works

The Glassmorphism Generator builds a single .glassmorphism CSS rule from six live controls and copies it to your clipboard. The frosted-glass look comes from backdrop-filter: blur(Npx) saturate(N%) (emitted twice, once with the -webkit- prefix for Safari), which blurs and re-saturates whatever sits behind the element rather than the element's own content. That is paired with a semi-transparent background color: a hexToRgba() helper splits your chosen hex into R/G/B and re-emits it as rgba(...) at the Background Opacity alpha you set, so the surface stays see-through. A faint 1px solid border at Border Opacity, a border-radius, and a fixed-position box-shadow of 0 8px {Shadow Blur}px 0 over black at Shadow Opacity complete the recipe. Because the effect depends entirely on backdrop-filter, the generated card only looks like glass when it overlaps visible content and its own background alpha is below 1 - the two most common reasons the effect appears to do nothing.

Each parameter maps to a slider with concrete bounds: Blur runs 0-50px, Background Opacity and Border Opacity 0-100%, Saturation 50-200% in steps of 5 (values above 100% richen the blurred backdrop's colors), Border Radius 0-50px, Shadow Opacity 0-50%, and Shadow Blur 0-100px in steps of 5. Glass Color and Border Color each have a native color picker plus a hex text field. Six presets pre-fill these: Subtle (blur 8, 20% opacity), Frosted (blur 16, saturate 120%), Bold (blur 24, saturate 150%), Dark (black glass with a white border), Colorful (a #8b5cf6 violet glass at saturate 180%), and Minimal (blur 4, 10% opacity). A Randomize button rolls fresh values within those ranges, and the full configuration is encoded into the URL via useUrlStates so a Share button produces a link that reproduces the exact card.

A live preview renders your card over one of eight selectable 135-degree linear-gradient backgrounds, layered on top of three soft blurred color blobs so you can actually judge the backdrop-filter against busy content the way it would behave in production. The output is plain hand-editable CSS targeting a .glassmorphism class - no framework or runtime dependency - and the tool surfaces a built-in note reminding you to keep the -webkit-backdrop-filter line for Safari. Worth keeping in mind beyond the generator: light text over a heavily transparent, busy backdrop frequently fails WCAG contrast, so lower opacity is not always better, and backdrop-filter is GPU-heavy and forces a new stacking context, so applying it to many or animated surfaces can hurt rendering performance.

Examples

  • Frosted preset over a blue-violet gradient

    Click the Frosted preset to set blur 16px, 30% opacity, and saturate 120%, then copy the generated .glassmorphism CSS and drop it on a card overlapping the default #667eea->#764ba2 background.

  • Dark glass card

    Apply the Dark preset (black glass at 30% opacity with a white 20% border) for a frosted panel that reads well over light or photographic backgrounds.

Tips & best practices

  • The effect only works when the card overlaps visible content behind it and its own background alpha stays below 100% - both are required by backdrop-filter.
  • Keep the -webkit-backdrop-filter line in the copied CSS for Safari, and watch text contrast: very low Background Opacity over a busy backdrop often fails WCAG.
  • Saturation above 100% (e.g. the Colorful preset's 180%) intensifies the colors of the blurred content showing through the glass.

Frequently asked questions

Does backdrop-filter work everywhere?

It works in Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox 103+. Older Firefox versions don't support it, so provide a solid-color fallback.

Does glassmorphism hurt performance?

Backdrop-filter can be GPU-intensive, especially on large elements. Use it sparingly, small cards and modals are fine; full-page overlays can cause frame drops on slower devices.

Related tools and how they differ

  • CSS Box Shadow Generator: Builds standalone layered shadows; use it when you need fine shadow control beyond the single shadow this glass tool adds.
  • CSS Border Radius Generator: Sets each corner radius independently in px or %; use it for detailed corner shaping the single radius slider here lacks.
  • CSS Button Generator: Creates a full button with hover and transition states; use it for interactive controls rather than a static glass card.
  • CSS Gradient Generator: Produces multi-stop linear, radial, or conic fills; use it for the vivid background that sits behind a glass panel.
  • CSS Animation Generator: Builds @keyframes animations; use it to animate the glass element, since this tool only outputs static backdrop-filter styling.
  • CSS Clip Path Generator: Clips elements to polygon shapes; use it to give a glass surface a non-rectangular outline.
