SVG Noise Texture Generator
What is an SVG Noise Texture Generator?
An SVG noise texture generator creates grain-like or textured patterns using SVG filters—primarily feTurbulence and feSpecularLighting. Instead of using raster images, you get a small, scalable SVG that tiles seamlessly. Add it as a CSS background-image to give elements or whole pages a subtle organic feel. Noise textures break up flat solid colors, add depth, and feel more tactile. They work well for hero sections, cards, modals, and minimalist interfaces. Output is SVG: lightweight, resolution-independent, and easy to embed or serve as a static file.
Features for Developers
An SVG noise generator for subtle or bold textures in web design.
Set background color and light source color. Desaturate for grayscale or keep color for tinted noise.
Choose fractal noise for organic, smooth texture or turbulence for sharper, more chaotic patterns.
Adjust light surface scale, elevation, and specularity. Shape how the noise responds to the light.
Control opacity for subtle or bold effect. Frequency changes the scale and detail of the noise.
Output is SVG. Use as background-image in CSS. Tiles automatically. Small file size, scales to any size.
Copy SVG markup or save the file. Drop into your project. No external dependencies.
How To Create a Noise Texture
Generate and use noise in three steps.
Pick background color and light source color. Choose fractal noise or turbulence. Adjust opacity and frequency.
Adjust light surface scale, elevation, and specularity for the desired texture look.
Copy the SVG or save the file. Add as background-image in CSS. The texture tiles automatically.
Tips for Noise Textures
Get the most out of the generator.
Lower opacity for a barely-there organic feel. Increase for bolder grain.
Use a background color close to your element color. Light source adds subtle variation.
Fractal noise tends to look softer. Turbulence for more visible, punchy grain.
Great For Designers and Developers
Who benefits from noise textures?
Add organic texture to hero sections, cards, and modals.
Break up flat backgrounds. Add tactile feel to interfaces.
Drop SVG into CSS. Small, scalable, no image hosting.
Subtle noise adds depth without distracting from content.
Why Use SVG Noise?
Organic feel without heavy assets.
SVG is small. No large raster images. Fast to load.
Resolution-independent. Sharp on retina and large displays.
Seamlessly repeats. Works with background-repeat out of the box.
Use as background-image. No extra markup or scripts.
