Hi Archana,

Here are some popular hover effects in CSS you can use:

  • Spinner Animation
  • Button Burst
  • Border Revolve
  • Multiple Button Transition
  • Grow Button Background

However, these are just a few. You can check out this blog to explore more CSS button hover effects:

If you’re aiming for a clean, minimal UI, some of the more subtle effects work really well too, like:

  • Underline slide-in using ::after
  • Soft scale with opacity fade
  • Shadow lift on hover

They feel modern and don’t overwhelm the layout, especially in portfolio sites or dashboards with a lot of white space.

For apps that need a more interactive or bold feel, try effects like:

  • Glowing borders with box-shadow
  • Gradient background slide
  • Icon reveal on hover

These give users visual feedback and make the buttons feel dynamic, great for product pages or CTAs that need attention.
