Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a blob shape in CSS?↓
A blob is made with an 8-value asymmetric border-radius such as border-radius: 30% 70% 70% 30% / 30% 30% 70% 70%. The four values before the slash set the horizontal radii of the top-left, top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners, and the four after the slash set the vertical radii. Uneven values give each corner a different curve, producing an organic blob. This tool lets you drag all eight values or hit Randomize to create one instantly.
What does the slash mean in an asymmetric border-radius?↓
The slash separates the horizontal radii from the vertical radii. The syntax border-radius: h1 h2 h3 h4 / v1 v2 v3 v4 applies the horizontal values to the four corners (top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left) and the vertical values to the same corners. When the horizontal and vertical radii of a corner differ, that corner becomes an ellipse rather than a quarter-circle, which is what creates fancy and organic shapes.
Should I use percentages or pixels for border-radius?↓
Percentages make shapes scale with the element — 50% turns a square into a circle, and percentage-based blobs stay proportional at any size — which is why this generator outputs the border-radius value in percent. Pixels (or rem) give fixed, predictable corners on buttons and cards regardless of element size; for that common case the tool also provides a Tailwind pixel-radius reference so you can match a rounded-* class to an exact pixel value.
Can I copy the result as a Tailwind CSS class?↓
Yes, for uniform shapes. A single radius on all four corners maps to Tailwind's built-in classes like rounded-lg or rounded-full, which the tool shows alongside a pixel-radius reference. Asymmetric blob and fancy shapes have no standard Tailwind equivalent, so for those the tool tells you to copy the generated CSS border-radius rule instead.
Is this border radius generator free and private?↓
Yes. The CSS Border Radius Generator is completely free with no signup required, and it runs 100% locally in your browser. Nothing you create is uploaded to or stored on any server.
