## Overview

Defaults follow the verified 2025 composite (css.glass lineage): rgba tint 0.10–0.30, blur 4–20px with saturate(120–180%) against blur muddiness, 1px rgba border, outer shadow plus inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3) top highlight. backdrop-filter sits at 95.69% global support; Safari requires -webkit- through 17.x (unprefixed since 18, 2024) and Firefox since 103 — the snippet always emits both declarations. Grain uses an SVG feTurbulence fractalNoise data-URI on ::before at opacity 0.12; @supports not (backdrop-filter) falls back to a near-opaque tint. Tailwind mapping prefers named utilities (backdrop-blur-xl = 24px, rounded-2xl = 16px) and falls back to arbitrary values, with the v3/v4 blur-sm 4px→8px shift flagged. Neumorphism follows neumorphism.io: background matching the page, dark shadow bottom-right + light top-left, inset = pressed, dark mode with light shadow at 0.03–0.1; shadows do not count toward contrast, so keep it off primary controls.

## Inputs

- **Style** (select)
- **Backdrop blur (px)** (number)
- **Backdrop saturate (%)** (number)
- **Glass tint color** (color)
- **Glass tint opacity** (number)
- **Border radius (px)** (number)
- **Border width (px, glass only)** (number)
- **Border opacity (glass only)** (number)
- **Outer shadow opacity (glass only)** (number)
- **Top-edge highlight (inset)** (checkbox)
- **Grain / noise overlay** (checkbox)
- **@supports fallback** (checkbox)
- **Neu background color** (color)
- **Neu shadow distance (px)** (number)
- **Neu pressed (inset) state** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need a glassmorphism card, modal or overlay with blur, saturate and a translucent tint.
- When you want a neumorphic surface that matches the page background with dark and light shadows.
- When you need a copy-ready snippet that already includes Safari prefixes, a fallback and Tailwind utilities.

## How it works

- Pick glassmorphism or neumorphism, then set blur, saturate, tint color and opacity, radius and shadow values.
- Toggle top-edge highlight, grain overlay, @supports fallback and, for neumorphism, pressed or dark mode.
- The builder emits CSS with both backdrop-filter and -webkit-backdrop-filter, optional ::before grain, a fallback tint and Tailwind mapping.
- A live HTML preview shows the card on a gradient so you can copy the snippet as-is.

## Use cases

- Frosted-glass cards and panels over hero gradients
- Soft neumorphic controls in light or dark themes
- Reusable CSS and Tailwind tokens for backdrop effects

## Frequently asked questions

### What styles can I generate?

Glassmorphism (frosted glass with backdrop-filter) or neumorphism (soft UI with matching background and dual shadows).

### Does the snippet include Safari prefixes?

Yes. It always outputs both backdrop-filter and -webkit-backdrop-filter for Safari through 17.x.

### How does Tailwind mapping work?

It prefers named utilities such as backdrop-blur-xl and rounded-2xl, then falls back to arbitrary values. The v3/v4 blur-sm change is flagged.

### What happens without backdrop-filter support?

When @supports fallback is on, the snippet uses a near-opaque tint so the card stays readable.

### Should I use neumorphism on primary buttons?

No. Shadows do not count toward contrast, so keep neumorphism off primary interactive controls.
