Why use glassmorphism?
Modern, layered UI
Glassmorphism adds depth and hierarchy to flat designs by creating translucent layers that let background content bleed through. It is widely used in cards, modals, navbars, and sidebars.
Pure CSS, no images
The frosted glass effect is achieved entirely with CSS backdrop-filter and rgba backgrounds. No image assets needed, which keeps your page weight low and loading times fast.
Broad browser support
backdrop-filter is now supported across all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. With the -webkit- prefix included, your glass effects work for over 95% of users.
How glassmorphism works in CSS
backdrop-filter: blur()
The core of glassmorphism is backdrop-filter: blur(), which applies a Gaussian blur to everything behind the element. Combined with a semi-transparent background, it creates the frosted glass illusion. Higher blur values create a more opaque, diffused look.
Semi-transparent background
The element needs an rgba() or hsla() background with low opacity (typically 0.1 to 0.4). This lets the blurred backdrop show through while tinting the glass with your chosen colour. White glass is the most common, but dark and coloured glass work well too.
Subtle borders and shadows
A thin, semi-transparent border defines the edge of the glass card and adds realism. Light borders on dark glass and dark borders on light glass both work. A soft box-shadow adds the final layer of depth, lifting the card off the background.
