The corner-top-shape CSS property specifies the shape of both the corners on a box's top edge, within their border-radius area.

For a full description of corner shape behavior and multiple examples, see the corner-shape shorthand property page.

Constituent properties

This property is a shorthand for the following physical properties:

Syntax

/* Single keyword value set for both corners */
corner-top-shape: notch;
corner-top-shape: squircle;

/* Single superellipse() value set for both corners */
corner-top-shape: superellipse(3);
corner-top-shape: superellipse(-1.5);

/* Left-hand corner, right-hand corner */
corner-top-shape: notch squircle;
corner-top-shape: notch superellipse(-1.5);

/* Global values */
corner-top-shape: inherit;
corner-top-shape: initial;
corner-top-shape: revert;
corner-top-shape: revert-layer;
corner-top-shape: unset;

Values

The corner-top-shape property is specified using one or two <corner-shape-value> values:

If one value is used, it specifies the shape of both top corners.
If two values are used, the first one specifies the shape of the top-left corner, and the second one specifies the shape of the top-right corner.

Basic `corner-top-shape` usage

HTML

The markup for this example contains a single <div> element.

<div></div>

CSS

We give the box some basic styles, which we've hidden for brevity. We also apply a box-shadow, a border-radius of 60 pixels, and a corner-top-shape of scoop notch.

body {
  font-family: "Helvetica", "Arial", sans-serif;
  width: 240px;
  margin: 20px auto;
}

div {
  width: 100%;
  height: 180px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: goldenrod;
  background-image: linear-gradient(
    to bottom,
    rgb(255 255 255 / 0),
    rgb(255 255 255 / 0.5)
  );
}

div {
  box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px gray;
  border-radius: 60px;
  corner-top-shape: scoop notch;
}
