I was recently tasked with creating new CSS styles for HTML checkboxes for a project. I had worked with checkboxes and CSS many times, but I figured that others may want a simpler tool for implementing CSS Checkbox styles that don’t look ridiculous.
That’s why we launched CSS Checkbox, a free web tool for creating nice looking CSS Checkboxes.

CSS Checkbox is great because it allows you to easily choose from an assortment of CSS Checkbox styles, and either copy and paste the HTML and CSS Code into your website, or to just download a specific Checkbox CSS Kit or the full release of all CSS Checkbox styles.
Basically, the tool relies on one’s use of the HTML label element concurrently with each HTML checkbox element (these get implemented by using the “input type=’checkbox'” type syntax). If the label element’s ID attribute matches the ID attribute of the checkbox it belongs to, you can use the label element itself to interact with the checkbox (and pass POST data with it as well).
The label element is far easier to manipulate than the HTML checkbox element, so one can play with colors, backgrounds, etc, to provide a nicer presentation for the checkboxes contained in your HTML forms. The CSS bit is what ties it all together! No javascript is needed at all to use this tool, and any associated images are hosted online.
If you’re banging your head against the wall trying to figure out how to create CSS for Checkboxes, try the CSS Checkbox Generator at CSS Checkbox!
