CSS Button Generator

Start with padding, font-size, border-radius, and background-color. Add hover and active states for interactivity. This tool generates complete button styles with customizable size, shape, color, shadow, and animation — ready to copy into your CSS.

Good buttons have sufficient size (min 44×44px touch target), clear visual hierarchy (primary/secondary/ghost variants), obvious hover/active feedback, and accessible contrast (4.5:1 text-to-background). Use consistent border-radius and spacing across your UI.

Primary: solid background with white text. Secondary: lighter background or outline. Ghost: transparent with text color only. Use CSS custom properties for the color system so all variants stay consistent. This tool generates all three variants from a single base color.

Use <button> for actions (submit, toggle, open modal) and <a> for navigation (links to pages/URLs). This matters for accessibility — screen readers announce them differently, and keyboard behavior differs (Enter vs Enter+Space). Style both consistently but use the correct semantic element.
