Shape corners with the full 8-value border-radius syntax — separate horizontal and vertical radii per corner — for organic blobs, eggs and leaves no 4-value radius can make.
Generated locally in your browser — your colors, settings and code never leave this page.
The syntax most developers never learn
border-radius accepts EIGHT values: four horizontal radii, a slash, four vertical radii — giving every corner an ellipse instead of a circle. That asymmetry is the entire organic-blob trick: 30% 70% 70% 30% / 53% 30% 70% 47% turns a square into a pebble. Drag the eight sliders (or hit Randomize) and watch the shape live.
Worked example
.blob {
border-radius: 30% 70% 70% 30% / 53% 30% 70% 47%;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #34d399, #0ea5e9);
}Where blobs earn their keep
- Decorative background shapes behind hero imagery.
- Organic image masks — friendlier than circles for portraits.
- Animated ambience: border-radius interpolates, so tweening between two blob values on a slow loop makes a living background (respect prefers-reduced-motion).
Percent vs pixel radii
- Percentages scale with the element — one declaration blobs any size. Pixel radii keep corners consistent across differently-sized elements — that is UI-corner territory, covered by the Tailwind radius tool.
Limitations
- Radius can only carve convex corners — spikes, stars and concave cuts are clip-path work.
How to use the CSS Border Radius Generator
- Choose 4-value mode for classic corners or 8-value mode for organic blobs.
- Drag the horizontal (and vertical) radius sliders per corner.
- Copy the border-radius declaration — or hit Randomize for blob inspiration.
Frequently asked questions
What does the slash in border-radius mean?
Horizontal radii / vertical radii: 30% 70% 70% 30% / 53% 30% 70% 47% gives each corner an ellipse instead of a circle. That asymmetry is the entire blob-shape trick.
Why percentages instead of pixels here?
Percentages scale with the element, so the same declaration blobs a 100px avatar and a 500px hero identically. Pixel radii are better for consistent UI corners — that is the Tailwind radius tool's domain.
Can blobs animate?
Yes, smoothly — border-radius interpolates. Animate between two 8-value sets on a slow loop for the living-blob background effect; respect prefers-reduced-motion.
