Glass Card

Adjust the sliders to change this element's blur, opacity, and saturation in real-time.

Try different backgrounds to ensure text readability.

The Glassmorphism Trend

Popularised by Apple's macOS Big Sur in 2020, the frosted-glass aesthetic has become a staple of modern SaaS and mobile design. The key property is backdrop-filter: blur() — which applies a blur to whatever renders behind the element, not the element itself.

Pair it with saturate() to boost the colours peeking through the glass, and a rgba() background with low alpha for the tint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glassmorphism?

Glassmorphism is a UI design style that uses backdrop-filter: blur() and semi-transparent backgrounds to create a frosted-glass effect. It became mainstream with iOS 13 and Windows 11 Fluent Design.

Does this work on all browsers?

The generated CSS includes both the standard backdrop-filter and the -webkit-backdrop-filter prefix required by Safari. It works in Chrome 76+, Safari 9+, Firefox 103+, and Edge 17+, covering over 97% of global users.

What does the saturation slider do?

The backdrop-filter property accepts multiple functions. Adding saturate() alongside blur() makes the colours behind the glass element more vivid — this is the technique used by macOS and iOS to give their UI panels a distinctive look.

Is this tool free?

Yes. SyntaxSnap Glassmorphism Generator is 100% free for personal and commercial projects, with no attribution required.
