Glass Hover Reveal is a premium interactive card component that turns static images into moments people want to touch. Move the cursor over any card and a frosted glassmorphism overlay glides into view, revealing your title, description, and call to action through a smooth, modern reveal animation. It's the difference between a grid visitors scroll past and one they explore.
Designed with an editorial aesthetic and built on performant motion, it works beautifully for book covers, portfolio projects, product showcases, and anywhere a clean image deserves a second layer of story.
CORE FEATURES
Glassmorphism reveal overlay — real frosted-blur effect with adjustable tint, opacity, and blur intensity

Responsive by default — adapts cleanly across desktop, tablet, and phone breakpoints
Lightweight build — GPU-accelerated transforms, no external dependencies, no layout shift
30-second setup — copy, paste, connect your content, publish
PERFECT FOR
Authors and publishers presenting books and chapters
Designers and studios building portfolio grids
Ecommerce and digital product showcases
Course creators displaying modules and lessons
Agencies presenting case studies and client work
Editorial, magazine, and gallery layouts
CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS
Every visual decision stays in your hands: swap the cover image, tune the glass overlay's blur and tint to match your brand, adjust animation timing from snappy to cinematic, set corner radius and shadow depth, restyle the typography, and point the CTA anywhere. No code required — though the component plays nicely with overrides if you want to push further.
USE CASES
Build an author site where each book lifts to reveal its synopsis. Create a portfolio where projects surface their role and results on hover. Showcase products that reveal pricing and a buy link the moment interest peaks. Present case studies, course modules, story chapters, or gallery pieces — one component, endless layouts.
BENEFITS
Higher engagement — hover interactions invite exploration and increase time on page
Premium perception — frosted glass and refined motion signal quality before a word is read
Cleaner layouts — progressive disclosure keeps grids minimal while details stay one hover away
Better click-through — the CTA appears exactly at the moment of peak interest
Hours saved — production-grade motion design without touching a timeline or a line of code
PERFORMANCE
Animations run on transform and opacity only, keeping the effect at a fluid 60fps with GPU acceleration. There's no layout shift, no heavy libraries, and no impact on your Core Web Vitals — your Framer site stays as fast as it looks.
WHY IT STANDS OUT
Most card components on the marketplace tilt, flip, or stack. Glass Hover Reveal owns a different moment: the elegant, frosted reveal — a pattern you see on premium editorial and product sites, now available as a drop-in Framer component. It's the showcase interaction your competitors' templates don't have.
