corner-top-shape

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

The corner-top-shape property is a shorthand for the following physical properties:

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.

html
<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.

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

Result

The rendered result looks like this:
