Developer guide shows how to build Apple-style liquid glass effects with CSS and SVG
A DEV Community tutorial explains how to recreate the liquid glass look popularized by Apple's 2025 design across iOS, iPadOS and macOS, using only CSS and SVG. The guide breaks the effect into five layers: a tint, backdrop blur and saturation, a specular rim, a diagonal sheen, and refraction. It notes that classic glassmorphism uses only the first three layers, while true liquid glass adds the sheen and refraction. Code examples include a dark-mode card and a light-mode variant, with advice on adjusting blur and rim highlights for light backgrounds.
