Build a toggle switch with CSS
The toggle switch is the sliding on-off control found throughout modern interfaces. This generator turns a plain checkbox into a polished toggle using only CSS. You pick the on and off colours and the overall width, and the tool calculates the height, knob size and travel distance to keep the proportions right, outputting the CSS and the tiny HTML it needs.
The switch is built by hiding the real checkbox and styling a slider element that responds to the checkbox's checked state.
Accessible and script-free
Because the toggle is driven by a genuine checkbox, it remains fully accessible: it is keyboard operable, works with screen readers, and submits its state in forms, all without any JavaScript. The sliding knob animates smoothly between the two states using a CSS transition.
Keep the on colour distinct and high-contrast so the state is obvious, and pair the switch with a visible label. All generation happens locally in your browser, so you can tune the look before copying.
Notes on the generated code
Because the css toggle switch 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
Is the toggle accessible?
Yes. It is built on a real checkbox, so it is keyboard operable, works with screen readers, and submits its value in forms.
Does it need JavaScript?
No. The visual state is driven entirely by the checkbox checked state and CSS, so no scripting is required.
How do I read the toggle value?
Because it is a checkbox, read its checked property or form value exactly as you would any checkbox.
Can I resize the switch?
Yes. Set the width in the generator and the height, knob and travel scale proportionally for a balanced look.
