What Is Glassmorphism Generator?
The Glassmorphism Generator creates the popular frosted glass UI effect using CSS backdrop-filter. Glassmorphism is a design trend characterized by semi-transparent backgrounds with background blur, creating an effect similar to frosted glass. The key visual elements are: a translucent background that shows blurred content behind it, a subtle border for definition, and often a slight shadow for depth. This tool provides fine-grained control over all parameters: blur intensity, background opacity, saturation (which enhances colors seen through the glass), border opacity, border radius, and shadow opacity. The preview displays the glass element over a vibrant gradient so you can see the blur and transparency effects clearly. The generated CSS includes webkit prefixes for Safari compatibility.

Technical Guide
Glassmorphism relies on the backdrop-filter CSS property, specifically the blur() and saturate() functions. backdrop-filter applies effects to the area behind an element, unlike filter which affects the element itself. The element must have a semi-transparent background (using rgba or hsla) for the blur to be visible. The blur() value in pixels controls the frosted effect intensity—10-20px is typical. saturate() above 100% enhances the colors visible through the glass. The border uses a slightly higher opacity version of the background color for definition. box-shadow adds depth. The -webkit-backdrop-filter prefix is required for Safari. For fallback, provide a more opaque background for browsers that do not support backdrop-filter. Use @supports (backdrop-filter: blur(1px)) for feature detection. Performance note: backdrop-filter can be expensive on large elements or when stacking multiple blurred layers.
Tips & Best Practices
-
1Use 10-20px blur for a clear frosted effect
-
2Keep background opacity between 15-30% for best glass appearance
-
3Increase saturation above 150% to enhance colors through the glass
-
4Place over colorful or image backgrounds for the most impactful effect
