How to use this tool

  1. Choose an effect style and customize label, radius, timing, and colors.
  2. Preview hover interactions and keyboard focus behavior in real time.
  3. Copy the generated CSS snippet and integrate it into your button class.

Included effects

  • Border wipe for directional edge reveals.
  • Glow trail for high-energy call-to-action buttons.
  • Subtle motion for restrained micro-interactions.

Implementation guidance

  • Keep transition durations consistent with your existing motion scale.
  • Ensure hover and focus states remain clear in both light and dark themes.
  • Use accent colors that preserve sufficient contrast for accessibility.

FAQ

Can I use these effects with plain HTML buttons?
Yes. The output is standard CSS and works with native `button` elements or links styled as buttons.
Are focus-visible styles included?
Yes. The generated CSS includes focus-visible outlines for keyboard accessibility.
Can I tune the animation speed?
Yes. Use the transition speed slider to set the duration before copying the CSS.
