CSS border-end-end-radius Property

What You’ll Learn

The border-end-end-radius property rounds the logical end-end corner of an element — where the block-end edge meets the inline-end edge. It is ideal for layouts that must work in both LTR and RTL text directions.

Definition and Usage

The border-end-end-radius CSS property controls the rounding of the logical end-end corner of an element’s border box. This corner sits at the intersection of the block-end side and the inline-end side.

In standard left-to-right horizontal writing, end-end usually maps to the bottom-right corner. In right-to-left layouts, the same property rounds the bottom-left corner instead — without changing your CSS. That makes it especially useful for multilingual and bidirectional designs.

📝 Syntax

The syntax for border-end-end-radius lets you use one value for a circular corner or two values for an elliptical corner:

selector {
  border-end-end-radius: <length> | <percentage>;
}

/* elliptical corner */
selector {
  border-end-end-radius: <horizontal> / <vertical>;
}

Basic Example

.rounded-corner {
  border: 2px solid #000;
  border-end-end-radius: 20px;
  padding: 20px;
  width: 200px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

A length value such as 10px or 1em sets a fixed curve. A percentage is relative to the element’s width and height.

Syntax Rules

• This property affects only the logical end-end corner.
• The default value is 0, which means a square corner.
• One value creates a circular corner radius on both axes.
• Two values separated by / create an elliptical corner.
• The mapped physical corner changes with direction and writing-mode.

Default Value

The default value of border-end-end-radius is 0. That means the end-end corner is not rounded unless you set a radius value.

💎 Property Values

border-end-end-radius accepts length, percentage, and elliptical values.

Common Value Types

Logical End-End Corner and Writing Modes

border-end-end-radius follows the inline and block axes instead of fixed top, right, bottom, and left sides. In horizontal LTR text, end-end is usually the bottom-right corner. In RTL, the same rule rounds the bottom-left corner.
