CSS Checkbox Generator

Design a custom checkbox — checkmark, filled box, toggle switch or cross style, square / rounded / circle shape, size, accent and check colours, label side, a pop or draw-in animation, and every state (checked, indeterminate, disabled, focus) — with a real clickable live preview and HTML + CSS output, or SCSS / Tailwind / React.

What this tool does

It builds the CSS to restyle a native <input type="checkbox"> and previews it as a real, clickable control in every state.

How the styling works

The input keeps appearance: none and is sized directly; the tick / fill / switch is drawn with ::before and ::after and revealed by :checked. The native input stays in the DOM so keyboard, focus and form submission all still work.

States

The preview shows unchecked, checked, indeterminate (set via a tiny bit of JS), disabled and keyboard-focus so you can tune each one.

Styles

Checkmark in a box, a solid fill, a toggle switch, or an X — each with square, rounded or circular geometry and an optional entrance animation.

Output

HTML + CSS, SCSS with variables, Tailwind classes, or a React component wired to state.

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it still a real checkbox?

Yes. The stays in the DOM with appearance: none — only its look is replaced. Tab focus, Space to toggle, labels, required and form submission all keep working.

How is the indeterminate state shown?

indeterminate is a JS-only property, so the preview sets it with one line and the CSS targets :indeterminate to draw a dash. The exported CSS includes that rule; you set el.indeterminate = true in your app.

Does the toggle-switch style need extra markup?

No — it uses the same single input. The track is the input's background and the knob is ::before sliding on :checked.

Can the label go on the left?

Yes. Choose the label side; the CSS uses flex-direction so the box and text swap without changing the HTML order for screen readers.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The checkbox CSS is generated entirely in your browser.
