CSS Rounded Corners
With the CSS border-radius property, you can give any element «rounded corners».
CSS border-radius Property
The CSS border-radius property defines the radius of an element’s corners.
Tip: This property allows you to add rounded corners to elements!
1. Rounded corners for an element with a specified background color:
2. Rounded corners for an element with a border:
3. Rounded corners for an element with a background image:
Example
#rcorners1 <
border-radius: 25px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners2 border-radius: 25px;
border: 2px solid #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners3 border-radius: 25px;
background: url(paper.gif);
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: repeat;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
Tip: The border-radius property is actually a shorthand property for the border-top-left-radius , border-top-right-radius , border-bottom-right-radius and border-bottom-left-radius properties.
CSS border-radius — Specify Each Corner
The border-radius property can have from one to four values. Here are the rules:
Four values — border-radius: 15px 50px 30px 5px; (first value applies to top-left corner, second value applies to top-right corner, third value applies to bottom-right corner, and fourth value applies to bottom-left corner):
Three values — border-radius: 15px 50px 30px; (first value applies to top-left corner, second value applies to top-right and bottom-left corners, and third value applies to bottom-right corner):
Two values — border-radius: 15px 50px; (first value applies to top-left and bottom-right corners, and the second value applies to top-right and bottom-left corners):
One value — border-radius: 15px; (the value applies to all four corners, which are rounded equally:
Example
#rcorners1 <
border-radius: 15px 50px 30px 5px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners2 border-radius: 15px 50px 30px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners3 border-radius: 15px 50px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners4 border-radius: 15px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
You could also create elliptical corners:
Example
#rcorners1 <
border-radius: 50px / 15px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners2 border-radius: 15px / 50px;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
#rcorners3 border-radius: 50%;
background: #73AD21;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
>
CSS Rounded Corners Properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
border-radius | A shorthand property for setting all the four border-*-*-radius properties |
border-top-left-radius | Defines the shape of the border of the top-left corner |
border-top-right-radius | Defines the shape of the border of the top-right corner |
border-bottom-right-radius | Defines the shape of the border of the bottom-right corner |
border-bottom-left-radius | Defines the shape of the border of the bottom-left corner |
border-radius
The border-radius CSS property rounds the corners of an element’s outer border edge. You can set a single radius to make circular corners, or two radii to make elliptical corners.
Try it
The radius applies to the whole background , even if the element has no border; the exact position of the clipping is defined by the background-clip property.
The border-radius property does not apply to table elements when border-collapse is collapse .
Note: As with any shorthand property, individual sub-properties cannot inherit, such as in border-radius:0 0 inherit inherit , which would partially override existing definitions. Instead, the individual longhand properties have to be used.
Constituent properties
This property is a shorthand for the following CSS properties:
Syntax
/* The syntax of the first radius allows one to four values */ /* Radius is set for all 4 sides */ border-radius: 10px; /* top-left-and-bottom-right | top-right-and-bottom-left */ border-radius: 10px 5%; /* top-left | top-right-and-bottom-left | bottom-right */ border-radius: 2px 4px 2px; /* top-left | top-right | bottom-right | bottom-left */ border-radius: 1px 0 3px 4px; /* The syntax of the second radius allows one to four values */ /* (first radius values) / radius */ border-radius: 10px / 20px; /* (first radius values) / top-left-and-bottom-right | top-right-and-bottom-left */ border-radius: 10px 5% / 20px 30px; /* (first radius values) / top-left | top-right-and-bottom-left | bottom-right */ border-radius: 10px 5px 2em / 20px 25px 30%; /* (first radius values) / top-left | top-right | bottom-right | bottom-left */ border-radius: 10px 5% / 20px 25em 30px 35em; /* Global values */ border-radius: inherit; border-radius: initial; border-radius: revert; border-radius: revert-layer; border-radius: unset;
