Use utilities like rounded-sm and rounded-md to apply different border radius sizes to an element:
rounded-sm
rounded-md
rounded-lg
rounded-xl
<div class="rounded-sm ..."></div><div class="rounded-md ..."></div><div class="rounded-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-xl ..."></div>
Use utilities like rounded-t-md and rounded-r-lg to only round one side of an element:
rounded-t-lg
rounded-r-lg
rounded-b-lg
rounded-l-lg
<div class="rounded-t-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-r-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-b-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-l-lg ..."></div>
Use utilities like rounded-tr-md and rounded-tl-lg utilities to only round one corner of an element:
rounded-tl-lg
rounded-tr-lg
rounded-br-lg
rounded-bl-lg
<div class="rounded-tl-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-tr-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-br-lg ..."></div><div class="rounded-bl-lg ..."></div>
Use utilities like rounded-s-md and rounded-se-xl to set the border radius using logical properties, which map to the appropriate corners based on the text direction:
Left-to-right
Right-to-left
<div dir="ltr"> <div class="rounded-s-lg ..."></div></div><div dir="rtl"> <div class="rounded-s-lg ..."></div></div>
Here are all the available border radius logical property utilities and their physical property equivalents in both LTR and RTL modes.
| Class | Left-to-right | Right-to-left |
|---|---|---|
rounded-s-* | rounded-l-* | rounded-r-* |
rounded-e-* | rounded-r-* | rounded-l-* |
rounded-ss-* | rounded-tl-* | rounded-tr-* |
rounded-se-* | rounded-tr-* | rounded-tl-* |
rounded-es-* | rounded-bl-* | rounded-br-* |
rounded-ee-* | rounded-br-* | rounded-bl-* |
For more control, you can also use the LTR and RTL modifiers to conditionally apply specific styles depending on the current text direction.
Use the rounded-full utility to create pill buttons:
rounded-full
<button class="rounded-full ...">Save Changes</button>
Use the rounded-none utility to remove an existing border radius from an element:
rounded-none
<button class="rounded-none ...">Save Changes</button>
Use the rounded-[<value>] syntax to set the border radius based on a completely custom value:
<div class="rounded-[2vw] ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
For CSS variables, you can also use the rounded-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<div class="rounded-(--my-radius) ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
This is just a shorthand for rounded-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Prefix a border-radius utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="rounded md:rounded-lg ..."> <!-- ... --></div>
Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
Use the --radius-* theme variables to customize the border radius utilities in your project:
@theme { --radius-5xl: 3rem; }
Now the rounded-5xl utility can be used in your markup:
<div class="rounded-5xl"> <!-- ... --></div>
Learn more about customizing your theme in the theme documentation.
