What is Border Radius Generator?
Border Radius Generator is a free, browser-based tool in the Design & CSS Tools suite. Per-corner border-radius editor with linked or independent corners, px/%/rem units and quick presets (Sharp, Soft, Round, Pill). Live preview included.
The headline benefit: drag sliders for each corner and copy clean border-radius css.
Unlike most online tools that upload your file to a server, process it, and send it back, Border Radius Generator runs entirely in your browser. Open DevTools → Network while using it and you'll see zero file-upload requests — only static assets (JavaScript, CSS, fonts) load. Your data never leaves your device.
Why use this border radius generator?
Three reasons EasyFileKit's Border Radius Generator stands out from the crowd:
- **Private by design** — all processing happens locally via JavaScript and WebAssembly. No server ever sees your input.
- **Instant** — no upload wait, no queue, no server round-trip. Results appear the moment you act.
- **Free & unlimited** — no accounts, no watermarks, no daily caps. Use it as many times as you like.
How to use Border Radius Generator — step by step
Here's the complete walkthrough. Everything happens instantly in your browser:
- **Step 1.** Choose to keep corners linked (uniform) or unlink for per-corner control.
- **Step 2.** Drag each corner slider or type a precise number in the input.
- **Step 3.** Switch the unit between px, % and rem.
- **Step 4.** Apply a quick preset (Sharp / Soft / Round / Pill) or copy the CSS.
That's it. No sign-up, no upload bar, no waiting. If something doesn't work as expected, check the FAQ below.
Common use cases for Border Radius Generator
People reach for Border Radius Generator in a few recurring situations:
- When you need the result **now** and can't wait for a server-based tool to upload, queue, and process your file.
- When your file is **private or sensitive** — financial documents, personal photos, medical PDFs — and you don't want it travelling across the internet.
- When you're on a **slow or metered connection** — uploading a 50 MB file just to compress it makes no sense when the same work can happen locally.
- When you've hit the **daily limit or paywall** on another "free" tool site.
Privacy: what actually happens to your data
This is the single most important point about Border Radius Generator, so it deserves its own section.
When you use this tool, your input is processed by JavaScript running in your browser tab. The code is downloaded once (cached afterwards) and executes locally on your CPU. At no point is your file, your text, or your input data transmitted to any server.
You can verify this yourself in under 30 seconds:
- Open Border Radius Generator in your browser.
- Press F12 to open DevTools.
- Switch to the Network tab and tick "Disable cache".
- Use the tool — drop a file, type text, whatever the tool needs.
- Watch the Network log. You'll see only static assets (JS, CSS, fonts, icons). No request contains your data.
This isn't a setting you toggle or a promise in a privacy policy — it's how the tool is architecturally built. There is no upload endpoint to call.
Frequently asked questions about Border Radius Generator
Q: How do I make a pill shape?
A: Click the “Pill” preset, or set all four corners to 999px (or 50% on an aspect-ratio square). Any value larger than half the element's height produces a pill.
Q: Can I use percent units?
A: Yes — percent is great for elliptical corners or fully circular avatars (50% on a square element).
Q: Why does the CSS sometimes show one value and other times four?
A: When all four corners are equal, the tool outputs the shorthand `border-radius: 24px;`. When they differ, it lists all four: `border-radius: 10px 20px 30px 40px;`.
Q: Can I control corners independently?
A: Yes — toggle the Link button off, then each slider controls only its own corner.
Border Radius Generator: EasyFileKit vs server-based tools
Most "free" online tools that do what Border Radius Generator does follow the same model: you upload your file to their server, they process it with a backend script, then they send the result back. Here's the honest comparison:
| | EasyFileKit | Server-based tools |
|---|---|---|
| **Your file leaves your device?** | Never | Yes, uploaded to a server |
| **Speed** | Instant (no upload) | Slower (upload + queue + download) |
| **Privacy** | Complete | Your file is on someone else's computer |
| **Cost** | Free, unlimited | Often capped or "premium" gated |
| **Works offline** | Yes (PWA) | No |
Server-based tools aren't evil — they exist because some tasks genuinely need heavy backend compute. But for everything Border Radius Generator does, client-side processing is strictly better for you.
Under the hood: how Border Radius Generator works
Border Radius Generator is built with modern browser APIs. Depending on what it does, it may use:
- **Canvas API** — for image manipulation (pixel-level access, filters, resizing).
- **Web Crypto API** — native, hardware-accelerated cryptography (AES-GCM, SHA-256, PBKDF2) for any encryption or hashing.
- **pdf-lib / pdf.js** — fully client-side PDF creation and rendering.
- **MediaRecorder API** — for capturing screen, audio, and video.
- **WebAssembly** — for heavy codecs (image compression, media processing).
All of these run inside your browser's sandbox. They cannot access your filesystem (beyond files you explicitly choose), cannot make network requests with your data, and cannot run persistently in the background.
Pro tips for getting the most out of Border Radius Generator
- **Bookmark the tool** — it works offline once cached, so you can use it even without a connection.
- **Install EasyFileKit as a PWA** — open the browser menu and choose "Install app" for a standalone window and offline access.
- **Use it on mobile** — every tool is fully responsive and works on phones and tablets, not just desktops.
- **No file size anxiety** — because nothing uploads, you can process large files that server-based tools would reject or charge for.
