SVG 3D Ball Generator

What is an SVG 3D Ball Generator?

An SVG generator for balls and circles that look and feel 3D, as if they are real-world surfaces hit by light. You pick a color, then adjust highlight (intensity, radius, position X/Y, opacity), dark area (intensity, radius, position X/Y, opacity), and shadow (opacity, blur, X, Y—or remove shadow). Overall size controls the ball scale. Behind the scenes it uses SVG radialGradient and Chroma.js for lighter and darker shades. The result is a 2D image of a circle that feels 3D—add dimension and real-world feel to designs. Export SVG for web or design tools.

Features for Designers

A free SVG generator for 3D-looking balls.

3D Feel

Circles that look like real-world surfaces hit by light.

Highlight Control

Intensity, radius, position X/Y, opacity. Simulate light source.

Dark Area

Intensity, radius, position X/Y, opacity. Shadow on surface.

Shadow

Shadow opacity, blur, X, Y. Or remove shadow.

Chroma.js

Automatic lighter/darker shades. radialGradient for depth.

Copy & Save

Copy SVG markup or save. Add dimension to designs.

How To Create 3D Balls

Generate 3D-looking circles in three steps.

Pick a Color

Tips for 3D Balls

Get the most out of the generator.

Highlight Position

Position X/Y simulates light direction. Offset for realistic angle.

Shadow

Shadow adds grounding. Remove for floating or flat look.

Dark Area

Dark area creates depth. Adjust intensity for subtle or strong 3D.
