The border-image-source property

The border-image-source property specifies a border image. For more details, see border-image property.

Syntax

selector {
	border-image-source: url(path to an image);
}

Example

The border-image-source property should be set together with border-image-slice:

<div id="elem"></div>

#elem {
	border-image-source: url("image.png");
	border-image-slice: 26;
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 26px;
	width: 200px;
	height: 200px;
	background: green;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

Example

If the border-image-slice property is not set, the entire image will end up in the corners (since border-image-slice defaults to 100%):

<div id="elem"></div>

#elem {
	border-image-source: url("image.png");
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 26px;
	width: 200px;
	height: 200px;
	background: green;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

Example

Instead of an image, you can set linear gradient:

<div id="elem"></div>

#elem {
	border-image-source: linear-gradient(to bottom, red, blue);
	border-image-slice: 30;
	border-width: 30px;
	border-style: solid;
	background: green;
	height: 200px;
	width: 200px;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

Example

If the border-image-slice property is not set, the gradient will fall on the corners (since border-image-slice defaults to 100%):

<div id="elem"></div>

#elem {
	border-image-source: linear-gradient(to bottom, red, blue);
	border-width: 30px;
	border-style: solid;
	background: green;
	height: 200px;
	width: 200px;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

Example

If you set the border-radius property, then, unfortunately, the border will not be rounded (and in the case of a gradient too), although the effect will also be quite interesting:

<div id="elem"></div>

#elem {
	border-radius: 100px;
	border-image-source: url("image.png");
	border-image-slice: 26;
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 26px;
	width: 200px;
	height: 200px;
	background: green;
	margin: 0 auto;
}
