Frequently Asked Questions
What is glassmorphism?
Glassmorphism is a UI design trend featuring translucent, frosted glass-like elements with blur effects, subtle borders, and layered depth. Apple popularized it in iOS/macOS.
Does backdrop-filter work in all browsers?
Modern browsers support it well. Include both standard and -webkit- prefixes. For older browsers, consider fallback solid backgrounds.
What backgrounds work best?
Colorful gradients, images, or elements beneath the glass create the best effect. On solid backgrounds, the blur has nothing to reveal.
How much blur should I use?
8-20px blur works well for most cases. Less blur gives a more transparent look; more blur creates a stronger frosted effect.
What transparency level is best?
10-30% opacity (high transparency) creates the classic glass effect. Higher opacity makes elements more solid and readable.
Why add a border?
The subtle semi-transparent border defines the glass edge and adds depth. It's a signature element of glassmorphism that separates layers.
Is glassmorphism accessible?
Ensure text has sufficient contrast against the glass background. Increase opacity or add a solid background overlay if text is hard to read.
Can I use glassmorphism for buttons?
Yes! Glass buttons look elegant. Increase opacity slightly for better text legibility and add hover states that adjust blur or transparency.
What's the performance impact?
Backdrop-filter can be GPU-intensive. Avoid applying it to many elements simultaneously. Most modern devices handle it well.
How do I combine with dark mode?
In dark mode, use white or light glass tints with low opacity. The frosted effect still works beautifully over dark backgrounds.
