What is the CSS Triangle Generator?

In the world of web design, sometimes the simplest shapes are the hardest to code. The CSS Triangle Generator is like a piece of digital origami—it allows you to fold pure CSS borders into perfect geometric triangles without ever needing an image file.

Whether you need a small arrow for a tooltip, a play button for a video player, or decorative corner accents, this tool generates the lightweight code required to create them. By using smart CSS border hacks or modern clip-paths, it ensures your shapes are infinitely scalable, retina-ready, and load instantly.
