react-native-blur-view

A lightweight yet powerful React Native package for applying a native blur (frosted glass) effect to any view on both iOS and Android.

Installation

npm install react-native-blur-view

or

yarn add react-native-blur-view

Make sure you also have react-native-webview installed in your project:

npm install react-native-webview

or

yarn add react-native-webview

✨ Features

• No native code or platform-specific setup
• Fully customizable background color (rgba)
• Optional border radius for rounded blur overlays
• Supports child content over the blurred background
• Compatible with both Android and iOS

🚀 Why use this?

Native blur implementations often require linking native modules or configuring platform-specific code. This component offers a JS-only alternative using CSS backdrop-filter (when supported), wrapped inside a WebView, which works reliably across platforms.

🧪 Example

import BlurView from 'react-native-blur-overlay';

<BlurView
  backgroundColor="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)"
  borderRadius={16}
  style={{ width: 200, height: 100 }}
>
  <Text>Your content here</Text>
</BlurView>;
