What is the CSS Divider Generator?
Create horizontal and vertical CSS dividers - lines, dots, gradients, and decorative separators. Copy the CSS and HTML markup.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Adjust the controls above, preview instantly, and copy clean, production-ready CSS — no account, no upload.
Using the CSS Divider Generator
Everything lives in the panel at the top of this page. There is nothing to install — it all runs right here in your browser.
Choose divider style
Select from line, gradient fade, dotted, dashed, or text-label styles. Each style shows a live preview immediately.
Adjust colour and thickness
Set the line colour, opacity, and thickness. For gradient styles, set start and end colours.
Copy CSS and HTML
Click Copy to grab both the CSS rules and the HTML markup. Use an hr for semantic separators.
What the generated code looks like
Clean, production-ready CSS — no vendor bloat, no unnecessary declarations.
/* Simple line divider */
.divider {
border: none;
border-top: 1px solid #e2e8f0;
margin: 32px 0;
}
/* Gradient fade divider */
.divider-gradient {
border: none;
height: 1px;
background: linear-gradient(
90deg,
transparent,
#6C2EF5 50%,
transparent
);
margin: 32px 0;
}
/* Text label divider */
.divider-label {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
gap: 12px;
color: #94a3b8;
font-size: 0.875rem;
}
.divider-label::before,
.divider-label::after {
content: '';
flex: 1;
height: 1px;
background: #e2e8f0;
}Use an hr element for semantic separators. Use a div with role="separator" for decorative dividers.
Pro tips for better results
Use hr for semantic section separators
The hr element has semantic meaning as a thematic break in content. Style it with CSS. Use a div only for decorative dividers that have no semantic purpose.
Gradient dividers create visual depth
A divider that fades at the edges (transparent to colour to transparent) looks lighter and more modern than a hard solid line.
Avoid using margin for divider spacing
Set margin directly on the hr or divider element rather than using padding on the surrounding sections. This keeps spacing intent clear in the CSS.
