You can make all sorts of shapes with CSS. This post is about all different kinds of 2D shapes, you can also make 3D shapes with CSS.

Basic shapes like **squares** and **rectangles** are quite easy, and used everywhere on the web. Just add a width and height and you have a square or rectangle (depending on the ratio).

If you add the CSS property **border-radius** , you can make these rectangles and squares into **circles** and **ovals**.

CSS has many more properties you can use to create shapes. There are the pseudo-elements **::before** and **::after**. With these two pseudo-elements we can add two more shapes to the already existing ones (square, rectangle, circle, oval).

By combining all these properties (`border-radiues`, `::before`, `::after`) with positioning, transforming, rotating, and many others, we are able make a lot of different shapes in CSS.
