border-end-start-radius

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨September 2021⁩.

The border-end-start-radius CSS property defines a logical border radius on an element, which maps to a physical border radius depending on the element's writing-mode, direction, and text-orientation. This is useful when building styles to work regardless of the text orientation and writing mode.

Try it

border-end-start-radius: 80px 80px;

border-end-start-radius: 250px 100px;
direction: rtl;

border-end-start-radius: 50%;
writing-mode: vertical-lr;

border-end-start-radius: 50%;
writing-mode: vertical-rl;

<section class="default-example" id="default-example">
  <div class="transition-all" id="example-element">
    This is a box with a bottom left rounded corner.
  </div>
</section>

#example-element {
  width: 80%;
  height: 80%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-direction: column;
  background-color: #5b6dcd;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
}

This property affects the corner between the block-end and the inline-start sides of the element. For instance, in a horizontal-tb writing mode with ltr direction, it corresponds to the border-bottom-left-radius property.

Syntax

/* <length> values */
/* With one value the corner will be a circle */
border-end-start-radius: 10px;
border-end-start-radius: 1em;

/* With two values the corner will be an ellipse */
border-end-start-radius: 1em 2em;

/* Global values */
border-end-start-radius: inherit;
border-end-start-radius: initial;
border-end-start-radius: revert;
border-end-start-radius: revert-layer;
border-end-start-radius: unset;

Values

<length-percentage>: Denotes the size of the circle radius or the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the ellipse. As absolute length it can be expressed in any unit allowed by the CSS <length> data type. Percentages for the horizontal axis refer to the width of the box, percentages for the vertical axis refer to the height of the box. Negative values are invalid.

Formal definition

Initial value	`0`
Applies to	all elements; but User Agents are not required to apply to `table` and `inline-table` elements when `border-collapse` is `collapse`. The behavior on internal table elements is undefined for the moment.. It also applies to `::first-letter`.
Inherited	no
Percentages	refer to the corresponding dimension of the border box
Computed value	two absolute `<length>`s or `<percentage>`s
Animation type	a length, percentage or calc();

Formal syntax

border-end-start-radius = 
  <length-percentage [0,∞]>{1,2}  

<length-percentage> = 
  <length>      |
  <percentage>
