Learn how to create a responsive pagination using CSS

Simple Pagination

If you have a website with lots of pages, you may wish to add some sort of pagination to each page:

Example

.pagination {
  display: inline-block;
}

.pagination a {
  color: black;
  float: left;
  padding: 8px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

Active and Hoverable Pagination

  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Highlight the current page with an .active class, and use the :hover selector to change the color of each page link when moving the mouse over them:

    Example

    .pagination a.active {
      background-color: #4CAF50;
      color: white;
    }

    .pagination a:hover:not(.active) {background-color: #ddd;}

    Rounded Active and Hoverable Buttons

  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Add the border-radius property if you want a rounded "active" and "hover" button:

    Example

    .pagination a {
      border-radius: 5px;
    }

    .pagination a.active {
      border-radius: 5px;
    }

    Hoverable Transition Effect

  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Add the transition property to the page links to create a transition effect on hover:

    Example

    .pagination a {
      transition: background-color .3s;
    }

    Bordered Pagination

  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Use the border property to add borders to the pagination:

    Example

    .pagination a {
      border: 1px solid #ddd; /* Gray */
    }

    Rounded Borders

    Tip: Add rounded borders to your first and last link in the pagination:
  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Example

    .pagination a:first-child {
      border-top-left-radius: 5px;
      border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
    }

    .pagination a:last-child {
      border-top-right-radius: 5px;
      border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
    }

    Space Between Links

    Tip: Add the margin property if you do not want to group the page links:
  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Example

    .pagination a {
      margin: 0 4px; /* 0 is for top and bottom. Feel free to change it */
    }

    Pagination Size

  • «
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • »

    • Change the size of the pagination with the font-size property:

    Example

    .pagination a {
      font-size: 22px;
    }

    Centered Pagination

    To center the pagination, wrap a container element (like <div>) around it with text-align:center

    Example

    .center {
      text-align: center;
    }

    More Examples

    Example

    Breadcrumbs

  • Home
  • Pictures
  • Summer 15
  • Italy

    • Another variation of pagination is so-called "breadcrumbs":

    Example

    ul.breadcrumb {
      padding: 8px 16px;
      list-style: none;
      background-color: #eee;
    }

    ul.breadcrumb li {display: inline;}

    ul.breadcrumb li+li:before {
      padding: 8px;
      color: black;
      content: "/\00a0";
    }
