About CSS Gradient Generator
The CSS Gradient Generator supports all three CSS gradient types — linear-gradient, radial-gradient, and conic-gradient — with a live preview that updates as you tweak angles, colors, and stop positions.
Add unlimited color stops, adjust each stop's position with precision sliders, and switch between gradient types to compare results. The generated output is a single CSS background property you can paste directly into any stylesheet or inline style.
Front-end developers and designers use this tool to prototype hero sections, button backgrounds, card overlays, and loading skeleton animations. Skip the trial-and-error of writing gradient syntax by hand — see the result in real time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What gradient types does this tool support?
Linear (directional), Radial (circular from center), and Conic (angular sweep around a point). All three correspond to native CSS gradient functions supported by every modern browser.
How do I use the copied CSS code?
Paste it into your stylesheet or inline style. Example: .hero { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%); }. It works with any CSS framework including Tailwind's arbitrary values.
Can I add more than two color stops?
Yes. Click 'Add Stop' to insert additional color stops. CSS gradients support unlimited stops, letting you create complex multi-color transitions.
Do CSS gradients work in all browsers?
Linear and radial gradients are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Conic gradients have broad support but may not work in older browser versions.
Can I create a gradient with transparency?
Yes. Use the color picker to set an alpha value, or type an rgba/hsla color directly. Transparent gradients are great for overlay effects on images.
