Create styled progress bars
Progress bars show how far a task or value has advanced, and this generator produces clean, customisable ones in pure CSS. You set the fill percentage, the fill and track colours, the bar height and whether the fill is solid or striped. The tool outputs the CSS along with the simple two-element HTML structure, ready to drop into a page. The rounded track and smooth width transition give a polished look.
Change the fill width in your code, or bind it to real data, to reflect actual progress.
Versatile for many uses
Progress bars suit file uploads, form completion, skill meters, fundraising goals and loading indicators. The striped style adds a classic, lively texture, and because everything is CSS it recolours and resizes effortlessly. For a semantic alternative, the native progress element exists, but styled divs give you complete control over appearance.
Keep the fill colour distinct from the track for clarity, and consider adding a percentage label alongside for accessibility. All generation happens locally in your browser.
Notes on the generated code
Because the css progress bar generator runs entirely in your browser, you can experiment with every option and watch the generated code update instantly, with nothing uploaded and no account required. The output is clean, standards-based CSS that works in any project without external libraries or a build step, so you can paste it straight into your stylesheet and refine it further by hand whenever you need to.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I update the progress value?
Change the width percentage of the fill element in your code, or set it dynamically from your data, and the transition animates the change.
What is the striped style?
It overlays a diagonal repeating gradient on the fill, giving the classic striped progress-bar texture while keeping it pure CSS.
Should I use the native progress element instead?
The native element is more semantic but harder to style consistently. Styled divs give full control over appearance, which this generator provides.
How do I make it accessible?
Add a visible or screen-reader label stating the percentage, and consider ARIA attributes so assistive technology announces the progress.
