CSS gradient generator features

Modern web design relies on CSS gradients for depth, motion, and visual interest. This generator creates production-ready linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() code with custom angles and unlimited color stops. The live preview updates instantly as you adjust colors, angles, or add new color stops, giving you complete control over your gradient design.

Common use cases for CSS gradients

  • Hero section backgrounds and call-to-action buttons that draw attention and improve conversion rates
  • Glassmorphism and neumorphism design effects for modern, depth-rich interfaces
  • Animated gradient backgrounds using CSS keyframes for eye-catching landing pages
  • Brand color gradients matching design systems across marketing materials and web properties
  • Overlay effects for images and video content to improve text readability

Linear vs radial gradients

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line at any angle you specify. A 0-degree gradient goes bottom-to-top, 90 degrees goes left-to-right, and 135 degrees creates a diagonal effect. Radial gradients emanate from a center point outward in a circular pattern, perfect for spotlight effects, radial buttons, and circular design elements. Both types support unlimited color stops for complex, multi-color transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the gradient generator work?

The gradient generator lets you create CSS gradients by selecting colors, choosing between linear or radial directions, and adjusting the angle for linear gradients. As you make changes, the tool instantly generates CSS code using linear-gradient() or radial-gradient() functions. You can add multiple color stops for complex multi-color gradients, and the live preview updates in real-time so you can see exactly how your gradient will look.

Is the gradient generator free to use?

Yes, the gradient generator is completely free with no signup or registration required. All gradient creation happens in your browser for instant results and complete privacy.

What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line at a specified angle (like 90 degrees for top-to-bottom or 135 degrees for diagonal). Radial gradients radiate colors outward from a center point in a circular pattern. Linear gradients are ideal for backgrounds and directional effects, while radial gradients work well for spotlight effects and circular designs.

Can I use multiple colors in one gradient?

Yes, you can add unlimited color stops to create complex multi-color gradients. Each color stop is distributed evenly along the gradient by default. This is perfect for creating rainbow effects, brand color transitions, or sophisticated design patterns with three or more colors.

Will these gradients work in all browsers?

Yes, CSS linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() functions are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The generated CSS code works without vendor prefixes in current browser versions.

How do I use the generated CSS code?

Click the 'Copy CSS' button to copy the gradient code, then paste it into your CSS file or inline styles. Use it as a background property like: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #FB923C, #F59E0B); The code is ready to use without any modifications.
