🔺CSS Triangle Generator
Creating triangles with pure CSS is a classic technique that's incredibly useful for design elements like tooltips, dropdown arrows, and pointers. Our CSS Triangle Generator makes this technique effortless. Instead of manually calculating border widths, you can use this visual tool to get the exact result you want.
Choose the direction the triangle should point, adjust its size with the slider, and pick a color. The tool provides a real-time preview and generates the clean, simple CSS code you need. Just copy the code into your stylesheet and apply the class to an element to create your triangle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this CSS technique work?
This technique works by creating a zero-width and zero-height element and then making its borders very thick. By setting the colors of three borders to 'transparent' and one border to a solid color, the browser renders the visible border as a triangle.
Can I make triangles that aren't right-angled?
This generator creates isosceles triangles (where two sides are equal). Creating other types of triangles (scalene) is possible with CSS borders but requires manually setting different border widths, which is an advanced technique not covered by this simple generator.
