How to create different shapes with CSS?



Shapes can be easily created on a web page with CSS. Not only rectangle, square, or circle, but triangle can also be created. The key to create shapes are the border properties, such border, border-radius, etc.

Create a circle

In this example, we will create a circle using the border-radius property −

 border-radius: 50%; 

Example

Let us see the example −

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .circle { width: 100px; height: 100px; background: rgb(0, 255, 13); border: 3px solid rgb(27, 0, 78); border-radius: 50%; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Create a Circle</h1> <div class="circle"></div> </body> </html> 

Create a rectangle

In this example, we will create a rectangle using the border property −

 border: 3px solid rgb(42, 0, 70); 

Example

Let us see the example −

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .rectangle { width: 200px; height: 100px; background: rgb(255, 232, 21); border: 3px solid rgb(42, 0, 70); } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Create a Rectangle</h1> <div class="rectangle"></div> </body> </html> 

Create a square

In this example, we will create a square using the border property −

 border: 3px solid darkblue; 

Example

Let us see the example −

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .square { width: 100px; height: 100px; background: rgb(23, 153, 121); border: 3px solid darkblue; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Create a Square</h1> <div class="square"></div> </body> </html> 

Create a Triangle

In this example, we will create a triangle using the clip-path property. The polygon() method is used to create a triangle −

 clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 100%, 0% 100%); 

Example

Let us see the example −

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> div { padding: 10%; border-radius: 2%; width: 10%; box-shadow: inset 0 0 80px violet; clip-path: polygon(50% 0, 100% 100%, 0% 100%); } </style> </head> <body> <div></div> </body> </html>
