Create section dividers with CSS
Dividers separate sections of content to improve readability and structure. This generator produces several styles: a plain solid line, a dashed line, a gradient line that fades at both ends for a softer look, and the popular line-with-centred-text pattern often used for an "OR" separator between options. You choose the style, colour and thickness, and the tool outputs the matching CSS.
Each style is a small, reusable snippet you can place between sections, forms or list items.
Subtle structure for your layouts
Well-placed dividers guide the eye and group related content without heavy boxes. The gradient fade is a refined choice that avoids hard edges, while the line-with-text divider is a clean way to present alternatives, such as a login form separated from social sign-in buttons. Keep dividers subtle so they organise rather than distract.
Choose a colour that is visible but not louder than your content, and give dividers enough vertical margin to breathe so they create clear separation. Each generated snippet is a single reusable class or small structure that you can paste directly into your stylesheet and adjust later. All generation happens locally in your browser, so you can preview the look before copying.

Frequently Asked Questions
What divider styles are available?
A solid line, a dashed line, a gradient line that fades at both ends, and a line with centred text such as an OR separator.
How does the line-with-text divider work?
Flexbox places a line on each side of a centred text span using pseudo-elements, a clean pattern for separating alternatives.
Why use a gradient divider?
The fade at both ends softens the separator, avoiding hard edges for a more refined, modern appearance.
How much spacing should dividers have?
Enough vertical margin to visually separate sections, commonly around twenty-four pixels, adjusted to your layout\'s density.
