How to Apply Glassmorphism CSS in Elementor (Step-by-Step Guide)
This guide explains how to use the generated Glassmorphism CSS code and apply it to any container in Elementor.
1. Copy the Generated CSS Code
Open the Glassmorphism Generator tool and adjust the settings (blur, opacity, border, shadow).
Then click “Copy CSS” to copy the generated code.
You will get something like:
backdrop-filter: blur(25px);
-webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(25px);
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.18);
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.25);
box-shadow: 0 35px 70px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
border-radius: 18px; 2. Open Your Page in Elementor
Go to your WordPress dashboard:
- Open Pages
- Click Edit with Elementor
- Select the container or section where you want to apply the glass effect
3. Add a Custom Class to Your Container
Click on your container → go to:
Advanced → CSS Classes
Add a class name, for example:
glass-effect 4. Add the CSS Code
Since the default Elementor setup does not include a built-in custom CSS field, you can use the free plugin:
👉 https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-for-elementor/
Install and activate it.
Then:
- Open your page in Elementor
- Select the container
- Go to Advanced tab
- Open Custom CSS (via plugin)
- Paste the generated CSS inside like this:
.glass-effect {
backdrop-filter: blur(25px);
-webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(25px);
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.18);
border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.25);
box-shadow: 0 35px 70px rgba(0,0,0,0.35);
border-radius: 18px;
} 5. Save and Preview
Click Update and preview your page.
You should now see a real glassmorphism effect applied to your container.
6. Recommended Background Setup
For the best visual result, use a background behind your glass container:
- Gradient background (dark or colorful)
- Or an image with soft contrast
Glass effects look best when there is visual contrast behind them.
Tips for Better Results
- Increase blur for more “frosted glass” look
- Lower opacity for stronger transparency
- Add subtle shadows for depth
- Avoid flat white backgrounds (glass effect will not be visible)
Result
You now have a fully working glassmorphism design system inside Elementor, ready to use for:
- Hero sections
- Cards
- Pricing blocks
- UI components
- Landing pages
