The border-bottom-right-radius property rounds the physical bottom-right corner of an element. One value draws a circular arc. Two values draw an elliptical arc (horizontal radius, then vertical radius).
Not deprecated and not experimental. Baseline widely available. Prefixed names such as -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius are no longer needed in current browsers.
Use one percentage. It applies to both axes, but each axis uses a different box size.
Horizontal uses width.50% of 200px is 100px.
Vertical uses height.50% of 100px is 50px.
Different axes, elliptical look. On a square, the same 50% would look circular.
Edge Cases & Pitfalls
If the corner looks wrong, check the shorthand, the percentages, and whether the curve is clipped.
shorthand
border-radius can reset this longhand
A later border-radius declaration resets corners you set earlier. Write the shorthand first, or put this longhand after it.
percent
Percentages follow width and height
Horizontal percentages use the box width. Vertical percentages use the box height. On a non-square box, one percentage is not a perfect circle.
clip
Backgrounds follow the curve
Background color and images are clipped to the rounded corner. background-clip controls how tightly that clipping follows the border box.
physical
Always the physical bottom-right
Writing mode and direction do not move this corner. Use border-end-end-radius when the corner must follow logical edges.
negative
Negative values are invalid
A negative radius is ignored. Use 0 or a positive length or percentage.
Compatibility
Browser Support
border-bottom-right-radius is a browser style property. Node.js, Deno, and Bun do not apply it.

Bottom line: Safe in current browsers. Older engines used prefixes such as -webkit- or the non-standard -moz-border-radius-bottomright. Those prefixes are not needed today.

Key Takeaways
Role: round only the physical bottom-right corner.
One or two values: one is a circle arc; two make an ellipse.
Initial value:0. A later border-radius can reset it.
One line:border-bottom-right-radius curves the bottom-right corner without touching the other three.
Frequently Asked Questions
It rounds only the physical bottom-right corner of an element. One value makes a circular arc. Two values make an elliptical arc.
The initial value is 0, so the bottom-right corner stays square until you set a positive length or percentage.
Yes. The first value is the horizontal radius. The second is the vertical radius. Example: 40px 16px draws an ellipse at that corner.
The horizontal percentage is relative to the box width. The vertical percentage is relative to the box height. On a non-square box, a single percentage can look elliptical.
border-radius can set all four corners. border-bottom-right-radius changes only the bottom-right corner. A later border-radius shorthand can reset this longhand.
