Examples

Basic example

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>

Rounding sides separately

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>

Rounding corners separately

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>

Using logical properties

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.

ClassLeft-to-rightRight-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.

Creating pill buttons

Use the rounded-full utility to create pill buttons:

rounded-full

<button class="rounded-full ...">Save Changes</button>

Removing the border radius

Use the rounded-none utility to remove an existing border radius from an element:

rounded-none

<button class="rounded-none ...">Save Changes</button>

Using a custom value

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.

Responsive design

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.

Customizing your theme

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>
