About CSS Scrollbar Generator
The CSS Scrollbar Generator is a free online tool that allows you to customize the design of your website's scrollbars and instantly create the necessary CSS code.
Simply operate the sliders and color pickers to adjust the styles of the thumb and track, such as colors, width, and border radius, while viewing real-time previews.
The generated code is compatible not only with WebKit browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge but also supports Firefox via scrollbar-color and scrollbar-width. All processing is completed within your browser, making it safe, fast, and free to use without any installation or registration.
How to Use the Generator
Decide the Size and Shape
Use the sliders in the control panel to set the width and border radius of your scrollbar. The preview area immediately reflects your adjustments, so tweak them to match your site's design.
Customize Colors
Use the color pickers to select the Thumb Color, Track Color, and Thumb Hover Color. Choose colors that harmonize with your site's theme or accent colors.
Copy and Implement
Once you are satisfied with the preview, check the auto-generated CSS code at the bottom of the screen and click the "Copy CSS" button. Paste it into your website's stylesheet to complete the implementation.
CSS Scrollbar Glossary
- WebKit Prefix (::-webkit-scrollbar)
- A non-standard CSS pseudo-element used to customize scrollbars in browsers powered by the WebKit/Blink engines, such as Chrome, Safari, and Edge. It enables highly customizable designs.
- Scrollbar Track
- The background or the groove of the scrollbar. You can style it using ::-webkit-scrollbar-track to set its background color or inner shadows.
- Scrollbar Thumb
- The draggable part of the scrollbar that indicates the scroll position. It is styled using ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb to adjust its color and border radius.
- scrollbar-color and scrollbar-width
- W3C standard CSS properties supported by browsers like Firefox that do not support WebKit prefixes. They allow you to set the thumb and track colors and define the width (auto, thin, or none).
- Cross-browser Compatibility
- The ability of a website to function and display consistently across different web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.). Our tool generates code that works seamlessly across all major browsers.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q.Will the generated CSS work on smartphones?
- Yes, it works on WebKit-based mobile browsers like Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android. However, depending on the OS specifications, the scrollbar may only appear while scrolling.
- Q.Can I apply the scrollbar to only a specific element (like a div)?
- Yes, you can. Simply replace .custom-scrollbar in the generated code with the class or ID of your specific element (e.g., .my-container or #scroll-box).
- Q.Is it compatible with the Firefox browser?
- Yes, it is. This tool automatically generates not only WebKit pseudo-elements but also W3C standard scrollbar-color and scrollbar-width properties for Firefox.
- Q.Is my data saved on a server when using this tool?
- No, it is not. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your settings and generated code are never sent to external servers.
- Q.How can I completely hide the scrollbar?
- To hide the scrollbar while keeping the scrolling functionality, you can use ::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; } for WebKit and scrollbar-width: none; for Firefox.
Custom Scrollbar Use Cases
Unifying Brand Colors
Change the color of the scrollbars on your corporate site or portfolio to match your brand colors, enhancing overall design consistency.
Custom UI Web Apps
Perfect for web apps like chat applications or dashboards where you have internal scrolling areas (divs) and want to hide the standard OS scrollbar for a sleeker look.
Dark Mode Support
Adjust your scrollbar to dark grey or similar shades to seamlessly blend into your website's dark mode, reducing glare and eye strain for users.
Pursuing Minimalist Design
Set the scrollbar width to be extremely thin, making it unobtrusive and keeping the users' focus on your actual content.
