CSS allows you to do some pretty cool things to the design of your page.
One of the most useful things you can do is to add rounded corners to your elements.
In this post, we'll learn how to add rounded corners to elements using border-radius
in CSS.
How to add rounded corners to elements
First, let's start with the HTML for a simple box element:
HTML<div class="box">
This is a box
</div>
To show the background, we'll give it a background color, display it as an inline-block
and some padding:
CSS.box {
background-color: wheat;
padding: 1rem;
display: inline-block;
}
This is how it looks:
- HTML
- CSS
As you can see, without any rounded corners, the corners are right angles.
To make the corners rounded, we'll use the border-radius
property:
CSS.box {
background-color: wheat;
padding: 1rem;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 1rem;
}
Here's how it looks:
- HTML
- CSS
The border-radius
property can take a single value which applies it to all corners, or you can specify a value for each corner using this syntax:
CSSborder-radius: top-left top-right bottom-right bottom-left;
Alternatively, you can specific the border radius for each individual corner by themselves:
CSSborder-top-left-radius: 1rem;
border-top-right-radius: 1rem;
border-bottom-right-radius: 1rem;
border-bottom-left-radius: 1rem;
As you can see, adding a border radius to your elements is very easy and powerful.
Conclusion
In this post, we learned how to add rounded corners to elements using border-radius
in CSS.
Simply add the border-radius
property to your elements and specify the radius you want.
