How to Create a Toggle Switch using CSS

This tutorial will show you how to create a toggle switch button with CSS. In your project where you’ve placed checkbox for the filtering purpose, replace the checkbox with a toggle switch. The toggle switch will add a neat and clean user experience to checkbox functionality. The toggle switch can be created using pure CSS, so you can use toggle switch as a filtering button in your web project. If you want to provide a better user experience on the web project, then display a toggle switch instead of a checkbox.

Here we’ll provide the short CSS code snippets for normal and rounded toggle switch. Use a normal style or round style toggle switch based on your web page layout.

<label class="switchBtn">
    <input type="checkbox">
