About Borders

CSS borders add visual definition and structure to elements:

  • Multiple border styles: solid, dashed, dotted, double, and more
  • Control width, color, and style independently
  • Apply borders to specific sides (top, right, bottom, left)
  • Combine with border-radius for rounded corners

💡 Tip: Use different border styles to create visual hierarchy and separate content sections.

What It Does

A Border Generator creates custom CSS borders with full control over width, style, color, and which sides to apply borders to.

You can apply borders to all sides or selectively to top, right, bottom, or left. Combined with border-radius, you can create rounded borders for modern, polished designs. Perfect for cards, buttons, input fields, and any element that needs visual definition.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What's the difference between border and outline?
Borders take up space and affect layout, while outlines don't. Outlines are typically used for focus indicators. Borders are better for visual definition and design elements.
2 Can I use different border styles on different sides?
Yes! Use border-top-style, border-right-style, etc. to apply different styles to each side. The generator allows you to selectively enable/disable sides.
3 Do decorative border styles (groove, ridge, inset, outset) work in all browsers?
Yes, these 3D-style borders are well-supported. However, they may appear differently across browsers. For consistent appearance, solid, dashed, and dotted are more reliable.
