Film Grain Overlay

Overview

Film grain is the hallmark of modern, Awwwards-winning websites. It removes the "sterile" feel of flat digital colors and adds a subtle, tactile warmth.

Instead of loading heavy, repeating PNG or GIF patterns which tank performance and Lighthouse scores, this component generates the noise programmatically using an inline SVG <feTurbulence> filter. It sits securely on top of your app with pointer-events-none so it doesn't block interactions.

Usage

For a full-page overlay, place this inside your main layout.tsx or App.tsx:

import { FilmGrain } from "@/components/creative/film-grain"

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <FilmGrain opacity={0.06} blendMode="overlay" />
        {children}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { FilmGrain } from "@/components/creative/film-grain";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { FilmGrain } from "@/components/creative/film-grain";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <FilmGrain
        opacity{10}
        intensity{10}
        blendMode{/* value */}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
