Accepted Answer

Use this generator to customize position, colors, arrow and animation. It outputs ready-to-use HTML and CSS that you can paste into any project.

Question 2

Do CSS tooltips work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

CSS tooltips rely on :hover which is not available on touch devices. For mobile, consider using JavaScript-based tooltips or tap-to-toggle approaches.

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pure CSS tooltips use the :hover pseudo-class and require no JavaScript at all. This generator creates 100% CSS-only tooltips.

The arrow is created with CSS borders. The generator lets you pick top, bottom, left or right position and automatically adjusts the arrow direction.
