CSS Toggle / Switch Generator

A real, clickable on/off switch built from one checkbox and CSS -- pill, rounded or square shape, on/off/knob colours, optional icons or text labels, glow, and a real :checked-driven preview (click it!). Presets, randomize, and export to CSS, Tailwind, SCSS or React.

What this tool does

Builds an on/off toggle switch from a single hidden checkbox and the :checked sibling selector — no JavaScript needed to flip its state. Clicking the preview here toggles the real underlying checkbox, so what's demonstrated is exactly the exported CSS's actual behaviour, not a static mockup pretending to be interactive.

Shape, colours and sizing

Pill, rounded, or square track shape, independent on/off track colours and a knob colour, adjustable size, and animation duration for how quickly the knob slides across.

Glow and disabled state

An optional glow adds a coloured shadow around the track when switched on, useful for a more prominent active state. A disabled toggle dims the switch and sets the cursor to not-allowed, matching how a real disabled form control should look and behave.

Presets and randomizing

Five presets — iOS Style, Material, Neon, Minimal Square, and Large — cover common looks, plus a randomize button for quick exploration.

Getting it out

Export as plain CSS (with the exact markup structure needed — a checkbox followed by track and knob spans), a Tailwind snippet using the peer/peer-checked pattern (the correct Tailwind idiom, since Tailwind has no plain :checked + sibling arbitrary variant), SCSS, or React style objects with a note on toggling state via a class.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser -- nothing you build is sent to a server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The toggle is built and rendered entirely in the browser -- nothing is sent to a server.
Does clicking the preview actually demonstrate the real CSS behaviour?
Yes -- the preview is a real checkbox with the exact :checked sibling-selector CSS applied, so clicking it flips the actual state rather than just showing a static picture of both states.
Does this need JavaScript to work?
No -- the entire on/off behaviour comes from the CSS :checked pseudo-class targeting a sibling element, a pure-CSS technique that needs no script to flip the switch.
Why does the Tailwind export use peer-checked instead of a plain checked class?
Tailwind has no arbitrary variant for a plain :checked + sibling selector, so the standard peer / peer-checked pattern is used instead -- it's the correct Tailwind idiom for this, not a workaround.
Can I add a glow when the switch is on?
Yes -- an optional glow toggle adds a coloured shadow around the track that only appears in the checked (on) state.
What export formats are available?
Plain CSS with the required markup structure, a Tailwind peer-checked snippet, SCSS, or React style objects -- selectable from a dropdown next to the code output.
