Gear Shape

What this grid is

Gear Shape creates a toothed circular silhouette as SVG. It is designed as a clean, parameter-driven outer contour rather than a full mechanical wheel, so the result stays focused on the repeating tooth profile itself.

You can use it for classic cog-like icons, badge edges, seal shapes, decorative emblems, or sunburst-style circular marks that need a more geometric rhythm than a simple scalloped circle.

Key parameters

• Teeth — Sets how many repeated teeth appear around the circle.
• Outer Radius (px) — Controls the overall size from center to the tooth tips.
• Tooth Height (%) — Pulls the valleys inward to make the teeth shallower or deeper.
• Tooth Width (%) — Changes how broad or narrow each tooth top feels.
• Root Width (%) — Changes how open or compressed each valley feels.
• Tip Roundness (%) — Softens the outer tooth shoulders and top corners.
• Root Roundness (%) — Softens the inner valley corners between neighboring teeth.
• Rotation (deg) — Rotates the full silhouette without changing the tooth structure.

Unique highlights

• One focused generator for toothed circular silhouettes, without spokes or center holes.
• Separate width controls for tooth tops and root valleys.
• Independent roundness controls for the outside and inside of the profile.
• Clean SVG output suitable for icons, labels, badges, and decorative marks.

Typical use cases

• Gear-like icons and pictograms
• Seal or badge edge shapes
• Decorative cog silhouettes
• Sunburst-style circular emblems
• Packaging or branding backplates

Tips

• Reduce Tooth Width (%) for a sharper, more saw-like feel.
• Increase Root Width (%) for broader gaps between teeth.
• Increase Tooth Height (%) when the outline feels too close to a plain circle.
• Increase both roundness controls together to move the result toward a softer badge-like silhouette.
