Glass Morphism Button 2
<button class="glass-btn">Get Started</button>About Glass Morphism Button 2
Glass Morphism Button 2 is a button built with gradient fills, transforms, layered shadows, a blurred backdrop and pseudo elements. Its stylesheet runs to 35 lines across 4 rules, declaring 21 distinct properties. It styles hover state explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. Every format shown on this page is the same component, so you can take HTML, CSS and Tailwind depending on how your project is set up. Nothing is minified and nothing depends on a framework.
When to use
- Product pages and dashboards built in the current flat and layered idiom, where a glassmorphism and modern button fits the surrounding design
- Repeated use across a page, since there is no animation to become tiring when several appear together
- Palettes built around white, blue and transparent, where this button can be dropped in without retheming
- Layouts with imagery or colour behind the control, since the backdrop blur needs something to blur
How it works
The base rule sets the shape with border-radius, height, padding and position. The fill is a gradient rather than a flat colour, so it is a single background declaration with no image to load. A pseudo element carries part of the effect, which keeps the markup to one element while giving the CSS a second surface to animate. Movement is done with transforms rather than by changing position or size, which is what keeps it smooth: transforms are composited and do not force the browser to lay the page out again. State changes are eased with a transition, so hovering does not snap. The backdrop filter blurs whatever sits behind the element, which means the effect depends on the page underneath rather than on the component alone.
Accessibility
Built on a native <button> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes. No focus style is defined. Add one before shipping, or keyboard users lose track of position. That is one thing to fix before this ships in front of users.
Browser support
Backdrop filter needs a -webkit- prefix on older Safari.
