About Border Radius Generator

Our free CSS border radius generator gives you complete visual control over rounded corners for any HTML element. Adjust each corner independently or link them all together, choose from multiple units (px, %, em, rem), and see the results instantly in the live preview panel.

Rounded corners are a fundamental part of modern web design. From subtle 4px rounds on cards and inputs to full 50% circles for avatars, the border-radius property shapes how users perceive your interface. This tool makes it effortless to find the exact values you need without guesswork or constant browser refreshing.

The generator includes 10 preset shapes such as Square, Circle, Pill, Teardrop, and Organic, plus a random generator for creative exploration. Output is provided in multiple formats including CSS shorthand, individual corner properties, a ready-to-use CSS class, and an approximate Tailwind CSS equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes, the Border Radius Generator is completely free with no restrictions. You can use it as many times as you want without registration or payment.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. The tool runs entirely in your browser. No data is transmitted to any server, so your settings and generated CSS code remain private on your device.

What is the difference between px and % for border-radius?

Pixel (px) values create a fixed radius regardless of element size. Percentage (%) values are relative to the element's dimensions, making them responsive. For example, 50% on a square element creates a perfect circle.

How do I make a perfect circle with CSS?

Set border-radius to 50% on an element with equal width and height. The Circle preset in this tool applies exactly that configuration.

Is border-radius supported in all browsers?

Yes, the border-radius CSS property is fully supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. No vendor prefixes are needed.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use consistent values: Establish 2-3 standard border-radius values in your design system (e.g., 4px, 8px, 16px) for visual consistency.
  • Use percentages for circles: Set 50% on square elements for perfect circles that scale automatically with size changes.
  • Keep it subtle for forms: Small values (2-8px) work best for input fields and form elements to maintain a clean, professional look.
  • Try asymmetric corners: Different values on each corner create unique shapes that can add character to decorative elements.
  • Consider responsive units: Use em or rem for border-radius values that scale proportionally with your typography.
  • Test with content: Always check how rounded corners look with actual content inside the element, especially at different viewport sizes.
