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.

Color Control

Set background color and light source color. Desaturate for grayscale or keep color for tinted noise.

Fractal Noise & Turbulence

Choose fractal noise for organic, smooth texture or turbulence for sharper, more chaotic patterns.

Light Controls

Adjust light surface scale, elevation, and specularity. Shape how the noise responds to the light.

Opacity & Frequency

Control opacity for subtle or bold effect. Frequency changes the scale and detail of the noise.

CSS Ready

Output is SVG. Use as background-image in CSS. Tiles automatically. Small file size, scales to any size.

Copy & Save

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.

Set Colors

Pick background color and light source color. Choose fractal noise or turbulence. Adjust opacity and frequency.

Tweak Light

Adjust light surface scale, elevation, and specularity for the desired texture look.

Copy & Use

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.

Start Subtle

Lower opacity for a barely-there organic feel. Increase for bolder grain.

Match the Background

Use a background color close to your element color. Light source adds subtle variation.

Fractal for Soft

Fractal noise tends to look softer. Turbulence for more visible, punchy grain.

Great For Designers and Developers

Who benefits from noise textures?

Web Designers

Add organic texture to hero sections, cards, and modals.

UI Designers

Break up flat backgrounds. Add tactile feel to interfaces.

Frontend Developers

Drop SVG into CSS. Small, scalable, no image hosting.

Minimalist Sites

Subtle noise adds depth without distracting from content.

Why Use SVG Noise?

Organic feel without heavy assets.

Lightweight

SVG is small. No large raster images. Fast to load.

Scalable

Resolution-independent. Sharp on retina and large displays.

Tiling

Seamlessly repeats. Works with background-repeat out of the box.

CSS Native

Use as background-image. No extra markup or scripts.
