About CSS Button Generator

The CSS Button Generator styles a button with colours, gradient, radius, shadow, padding, and hover behaviour, previewing a real, hoverable button and producing copy-ready CSS. It is for developers and designers prototyping button styles.

Tweaking button CSS by editing and refreshing is slow. Adjusting it against a live, interactive preview is faster, and the generated CSS is ready to drop into your stylesheet.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Adjust the colours, gradient, radius, padding, and shadow.
  2. Set the hover behaviour.
  3. Interact with the real preview button to test the hover state.
  4. Refine until the button looks right.
  5. Copy the generated CSS.

Best practices

Tips for best results

  • Keep enough contrast between the button text and background for accessibility.
  • Provide a visible focus style too, so keyboard users can see the button is selected.
  • Do not depend on hover for essential information, since touch devices have no hover.
Common mistakes to avoid

Pitfalls to watch for

  • Designing a button with too little colour contrast for its text, hurting readability.
  • Relying on hover alone for important cues, which leaves touch users without feedback.
  • Adding such a large radius or shadow that the button stops looking clickable.
