How to Use the Button Generator

    
Choose a style preset or start from scratch by picking colors, adjusting padding, radius, font, border, and shadow. Select a hover effect to preview how the button responds to interaction, then copy the full CSS and HTML output directly into your project.

    

      
Consistent Button Styles
Use the same padding, radius, and font weight tokens across your entire UI for a polished, professional look.

      
Hover Transitions
A subtle translateY(-2px) lift on hover gives immediate tactile feedback without distracting from content.

      
Pill Buttons for CTAs
Large border-radius values create pill-shaped call-to-action buttons that stand out from rectangular content elements.

      
Colored Shadows
Match the shadow color to the button background for a modern, glowing effect that reinforces brand identity.

    

    
Frequently Asked Questions

    

      

        
        
Target the button element or a custom class. Set background, color, padding, border-radius, and border. Remove default styles with border:none; cursor:pointer; font-family:inherit;.

      

      

        
        
A ghost button has a transparent background with a visible border and text in the brand color. It's used as a secondary action alongside a filled primary button to create visual hierarchy.

      

      

        
        
Use the :hover pseudo-class. Combine transform: translateY(-2px) for a lift effect, filter: brightness(1.1) to lighten, or a slightly different background color for a darken effect. Always add transition for smooth animation.

      

      

        
        
Set background: linear-gradient(direction, color1, color2). Note that CSS transitions don't animate gradients directly — instead animate opacity on a pseudo-element overlay, or use filter: brightness() on hover.
