Generated CSS

HTML structure example:

<div class="tooltip-wrapper">

On touch devices, hover effects won't work. Consider adding an ARIA attribute or a fallback for mobile users.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions

A pure CSS tooltip is a hover‑activated informational popup that uses only HTML and CSS – no JavaScript. It relies on the :hover pseudo‑class and ::after/::before pseudo‑elements for the arrow and positioning.

Pure CSS tooltips are not inherently accessible because they don’t respond to keyboard focus. For production, you can add minimal JavaScript to toggle visibility on :focus or use aria-describedby. Our generator focuses on the hover‑only CSS, but you can easily extend it.

Mobile browsers don’t have a persistent hover state, so pure CSS tooltips won’t work on touchscreens. A common workaround is to show the tooltip on click/tap with a tiny bit of JavaScript, or you can use a :active fallback (though it disappears quickly).

CSS‑only tooltips are extremely lightweight (no extra HTTP requests), have zero dependencies, and perform perfectly even on low‑power devices. They also don’t interfere with other scripts and are easier to debug.

You can copy the CSS for a different position from the generator and apply it to a separate class (e.g., .tooltip-top, .tooltip-left). Then use that class on specific elements as needed.

Absolutely! Simply add transition: visibility 0.2s, opacity 0.2s; and opacity: 0; to .tooltip-text, and opacity: 1; inside :hover. Our tool generates the base static version, which you can easily enhance.
