How to Use Glassmorphism

Best Practices

  • Use on top of colorful or detailed backgrounds for the best effect.
  • Ensure sufficient text contrast against the blurred background for readability (WCAG AA minimum).
  • Use sparingly for focal points like modals, navbars, or specific cards, not everywhere.
  • Combine with subtle shadows (like the default) to lift the element off the page.
  • Consider fallbacks for older browsers that don't support `backdrop-filter` (e.g., a semi-transparent solid color background).

Implementation

  1. Copy the generated CSS/SCSS to your stylesheet or use the Tailwind classes as a guide.
  2. Apply the `.glass-effect` class (or equivalent styles) to the HTML elements.
  3. Ensure the parent container or page body has a suitable background (image or gradient).
  4. Test thoroughly across different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and devices.

  backdrop-filter: blur(10px) saturate(180%);
  -webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(10px) saturate(180%); /* Keep vendor prefix */

  color: #ffffff;
  box-shadow: 0px 4px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
}

.glass-effect .title {
  font-weight: 600;
  color: #ffffff; /* Use text color variable */
}

.glass-effect .icon {
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6); /* Use icon color variable */
}

.glass-effect .accent {
  color: #61dafb; /* Use accent color variable */
}

What is Glassmorphism?

Glassmorphism is a popular design trend that creates a frosted glass effect for UI elements. It combines transparency, blur, and subtle border to create the illusion of elements floating in space with a translucent appearance.

This effect gained popularity with Apple's iOS and macOS interfaces and has since become widely used in modern web and application design. It creates depth and hierarchy while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

The key components of glassmorphism include backdrop-filter blur, subtle transparency, thin light borders, and soft shadows—all of which you can customize with our generator.

Browser Compatibility

The glassmorphism effect relies on the CSS backdrop-filter property, which has excellent support in modern browsers but may require fallbacks for older browsers.

Current Browser Support:

  • ✓ Chrome 76+ (and Chromium-based browsers)
  • ✓ Firefox 70+
  • ✓ Safari 9+
  • ✓ Edge 79+
  • ✗ Internet Explorer (no support)

Pro Tip

Always implement fallbacks for browsers that don't support backdrop-filter. Our generator includes a solid background color that will serve as a decent alternative in unsupported browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good glassmorphism design?

The best glassmorphism designs have colorful backgrounds with enough contrast to make the frosted glass effect visible. Keep text legible by ensuring sufficient contrast, and don't overuse the effect—it works best as an accent rather than applied to every element.

Will this work on mobile devices?

Yes, most modern mobile browsers support the backdrop-filter property. iOS has supported it since Safari 9, and Android Chrome since version 76. However, some older devices might not render the effect correctly, so testing is recommended.

Does glassmorphism affect performance?

The backdrop-filter property can be computationally intensive, especially when applied to large areas or many elements. For optimal performance, limit the number of glassmorphism elements on a page and keep the affected areas reasonably sized.

Can I use this with any JavaScript framework?

Absolutely! The CSS generated by our tool works with any framework or vanilla HTML/CSS. Just copy the generated code into your stylesheet and apply the class to your elements. For React, Vue, Angular, or any other framework, the implementation process is the same.
