CSS Button Generator
Design a custom button with live preview — background, border, radius, padding, shadow and hover effect — then copy the ready-made CSS straight into your project.
How to Use the CSS Button Generator
- Type your button text and pick a hover effect.
- Adjust background, text and border colors with the color pickers.
- Fine-tune radius, padding, font size, border width and shadow with the sliders and checkbox.
- Watch the live preview button update instantly with every change.
- Copy the generated CSS and paste it into your stylesheet.
Why Use This Tool?
What hover effects are included?
Darken slightly dims the background color on hover using a CSS filter: brightness(), Lift adds a stronger shadow and moves the button upward with transform: translateY() for a "floating" feel, and Scale gently grows the button with transform: scale(). All three are implemented with lightweight CSS transitions, so they're smooth and GPU-friendly without any JavaScript required on your live site.
Will the generated CSS work as-is?
Yes. The output is plain, framework-free CSS targeting a single class you can apply to any <button> or <a> element. Just copy it into your stylesheet and add the matching class name to your markup — there are no dependencies on any particular CSS framework.
Can I use these buttons in commercial projects?
Absolutely — every style you design here is free to use in client work, SaaS products, personal sites and anything else, with no attribution required. Buttons are one of the most repeated UI elements on any site, so getting the exact look you want quickly is a real time-saver.
Is my design data stored anywhere?
No. This tool runs 100% in your browser — every slider, color and text change is rendered locally with JavaScript, and nothing is uploaded or saved on a server. It's free to use with no signup.
