❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between backdrop-filter and filter? ▼

filter: blur() blurs the element itself and its contents. backdrop-filter blurs the area behind the element, creating a glass effect without blurring the content.

Why does backdrop-filter need -webkit- prefix? ▼

Older browsers (Safari, older Chrome/Edge) still require the -webkit- prefix for backdrop-filter. Our generated CSS includes both for maximum compatibility.

Can I use this on production websites? ▼

Absolutely! The generated CSS is ready to copy and paste. Just ensure your browser support requirements are met (modern browsers).

How do I get a true glass effect? ▼

Use backdrop-filter with a semi‑transparent background, a subtle border, and possibly a light shadow. That's exactly what our default preset does.
