What is a CSS Gradient Border?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does border-image work with border-radius?

The border-image property does not support border-radius. For rounded gradient borders, use the pseudo-element approach included in the generated CSS as an alternative method.

Can I use this on any element?

Yes. The generated CSS can be applied to divs, buttons, cards, images, and any block-level element.
