What is border-radius in CSS?
The border-radius property rounds the corners of an HTML element. It accepts one or more values defining the curve radius of each corner. It is one of the most used CSS properties in modern web design, softening the rectangular shapes of blocks, buttons, cards and images.

How does border-radius work?
The syntax lets you set a uniform radius or a different one per corner. With a single value, all corners are identical. With four values, you control each corner individually (top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left). A value of 50% turns a square into a perfect circle.
Common use cases
Border-radius is everywhere in UI design: rounded buttons, circular avatars, soft-cornered cards, badges and tags, and styled form inputs. Combined with overflow: hidden, it crops images into rounded shapes without touching the source file.
