Everything you need to know about CSS buttons
Why not just wing it by hand?
A polished button is more than a background color — padding, border-radius, hover/active states, and sometimes a shadow all need to work together consistently. Designing it visually and exporting the CSS is faster and more consistent than adjusting raw values by trial and error.
When you actually need this
- Prototyping a design system's button styles before committing to code.
- Getting a hover/active state that feels right without guessing at CSS values repeatedly.
Don't forget the states
A button that only looks good in its default state is incomplete — hover, active (pressed), and disabled states all matter for a button that feels responsive to use, not just good in a static screenshot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the hover effect work automatically, or do I need extra JavaScript?
No JavaScript needed — the hover state is a plain CSS :hover rule with a background-color transition, so it works as soon as you apply the generated class.
Can I use this class name on any element, not just a <button>?
Yes — it's just a CSS class (.btn) targeting background, padding, and other visual properties, so it'll style any element you apply it to, though a real <button> or <a> is the semantically correct choice.
What transition speed does the hover use?
0.2 seconds with an ease timing function — fast enough to feel responsive without being abrupt.
Does this tool send my settings to a server?
Yes — they're sent to our servers to build the CSS and the result is returned to you; nothing is stored.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, with no signup required.
