Tailwind CSS plugin that adds first-class utilities for the CSS corner-shape property and its per-corner longhands (e.g. corner-top-left-shape). It supports static keywords like round, scoop, bevel, notch, square, squircle, as well as the functional value superellipse().

Installation

You can install the plugin via npm:

``bash
npm install @toolwind/corner-shape # or pnpm, yarn, bun
`













Tailwind CSS ≥ v4.0.0 `css title="globals.css" / globals.css / @import "tailwindcss"; @plugin "@toolwind/corner-shape"; `

Tailwind CSS < v4.0.0   Module JS (MJS/ESM) `ts title="tailwind.config.js" // tailwind.config.js import cornerShape from '@toolwind/corner-shape'; export default { // ... plugins: [cornerShape] } `   Common JS (CJS) `ts title="tailwind.config.cjs" // tailwind.config.cjs module.exports = { // ... plugins: [ require('@toolwind/corner-shape'), ] } `

How it works

This plugin leverages the new CSS corner-shape property, which allows you to control the shape of element corners using both standard keywords as well as functional values.

Because this property is not yet supported in all browsers, consider it forward-looking, though it is safe to use as it degrades gracefully. The utilities generated by this plugin map directly to the corner-shape property and its per-corner longhands.

For example:

`html



`
`css
.corner-squircle {
corner-shape: squircle;
}
`

Usage

- All corners at once: corner-{shape}
- Physical edges (two corners at a time):
- corner-t-{shape} → top-left and top-right
- corner-r-{shape} → top-right and bottom-right
- corner-b-{shape} → bottom-right and bottom-left
- corner-l-{shape} → top-left and bottom-left
- Physical single corners:
- corner-tl-{shape}, corner-tr-{shape}, corner-br-{shape}, corner-bl-{shape}
- Logical edges (writing-direction aware):
- corner-s-{shape} → start-start and end-start
- corner-e-{shape} → start-end and end-end
- Logical single corners:
- corner-ss-{shape}, corner-se-{shape}, corner-ee-{shape}, corner-es-{shape}

Supported static shapes: round, scoop, bevel, notch, square, squircle

`html



`

Functional value: superellipse

Use Tailwind’s modifier syntax (/) to pass a superellipse() parameter:

- .corner-superellipse/50
- .corner-t-superellipse/32
- .corner-tr-superellipse/e
- .corner-s-superellipse/-pi

Accepted values are:
- a number (e.g. 2, 0.5, -1)
- one of the constants: e, pi, infinity (optionally negative: -e, -pi, -infinity)

Examples:

`html


`

Notes:
- Values are passed through as-is to superellipse(). Do not include units.
- Logical shorthands (s, e, ss, se, ee, es) adapt with writing direction.

Keyword equivalents

| Keyword | Description | Equivalent |
|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|
| bevel | Defines a straight, diagonal corner, which is neither convex nor concave. | superellipse(0) |
| notch | Defines a 90-degree concave square corner. | superellipse(-infinity) |
| round | Defines a convex ordinary ellipse; the standard rounded corner created by border-radius without corner-shape. This is the default (initial) value. | superellipse(1) |
| scoop | Defines a concave ordinary ellipse. | superellipse(-1) |
| square | Defines a 90-degree convex square corner; the default shape when no border-radius (or border-radius: 0) is applied. | superellipse(infinity) |
| squircle | Defines a “squircle”, a convex curve in between round and square. | superellipse(2) |

Browser support

This plugin emits the corner-shape and corner-*-shape properties. Support for these properties varies by browser and may change over time. Consider providing design fallbacks (e.g. border-radius) where necessary.
