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>
