## About

### 21 CSS generators in one visual studio

CSS Forge bundles the front-end snippets you reach for constantly — triangles, arrows, ribbons, tooltips, loaders, gradients, box shadows, text shadows, glassmorphism, neumorphism, border radius, custom shapes, clip-paths, filters, transforms, animations, 3D perspective, grid builders, flexbox and grid playgrounds, and a CSS variable manager — behind a single, consistent interface. Pick a generator, drag the sliders, watch the live preview react instantly, then copy or download production-ready CSS with one click.

### Design visually, ship real code

Every control maps directly to a CSS property, so you learn the underlying rule while you tweak it. The generated output is clean, standards-compliant CSS (with -webkit- fallbacks where they matter) that drops straight into your stylesheet. Switch the preview background, hit randomize to explore ideas, or reset to defaults. Nothing is uploaded — all rendering happens locally in your browser, so it's fast and private.

## FAQ

### What CSS generators are included?

Twenty-one: Triangle, Arrow, Shape, Clip-Path, and Border-Radius generators; Ribbon, Tooltip, and Loader component builders; Gradient, Box-Shadow, Text-Shadow, Glassmorphism, Neumorphism, Filter, Transform, Animation, and Perspective effect editors; plus Grid Builder, Flexbox Playground, Grid Playground, and a CSS Variable generator — all in one interface.

### Is the generated CSS production-ready?

Yes. The output is clean, standards-compliant CSS you can paste directly into any stylesheet or component. Where it matters (clip-path, filters), vendor-prefixed fallbacks are included, and animation tools output the full @keyframes block.

### How do I make a CSS triangle?

Open the Triangle generator, choose a direction (up, down, left, right), set the size and color with the sliders, and copy the border-based CSS. It uses the classic zero-width/zero-height border trick that works in every browser.

### Can I build CSS animations without writing keyframes?

Yes. The Animation Builder offers presets (bounce, fade, slide-in, spin, shake, pop) with controls for duration, delay, timing function, and iteration count. It generates the complete animation shorthand plus the @keyframes rule for you.

### Does the flexbox and grid playground export real code?

Yes. Adjust direction, justify-content, align-items, wrapping, gaps, and item counts visually, and the tool outputs the exact CSS for your container. It's ideal for learning how each property affects layout and for grabbing a working starting point.

### Is my data sent to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser — previews render client-side and CSS is generated on your device. Nothing is uploaded, so the tool is fast and completely private.
