Procedural Noise with feTurbulence

The SVG <feTurbulence> filter generates Perlin-style noise procedurally. Layer it at low opacity over backgrounds or cards to add a tactile grain texture without shipping any image files.

Layer at low opacity for subtle texture

Applying the Texture

Define the filter once and apply it to a full-bleed rect, then overlay it on your content. Tune baseFrequency for fine vs coarse grain and blend mode for the look you want.

Higher baseFrequency = finer grain
Use mix-blend-mode for film-grain looks

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SVG noise better than a PNG grain texture?

SVG feTurbulence is resolution-independent and adds no download weight, while a PNG grain tile is fixed-resolution and adds a request; SVG is usually the leaner choice.

How do I control the grain size?

Adjust baseFrequency — higher values produce finer grain, lower values produce coarser, larger noise patterns.
