CSS Gradient Generator

Design linear and radial CSS gradients visually, adjust colors and angle, and copy the CSS.

How to use

  1. Choose the gradient type — linear or radial — and pick your colors.
  2. Adjust the angle with the slider (linear only) and see the preview update in real time.
  3. Copy the CSS with one click and paste it into your stylesheet.

About this tool

CSS gradients are the background patterns of the modern web. A linear gradient blends colors along a line at a chosen angle; a radial gradient blends them from a center point outward. Both are declared in a single CSS property, render at any resolution without an image file, and cost nothing in network weight. This generator builds the declaration visually.

Pick two or three colors, set the angle for linear or leave it for radial, and the preview shows the result. The CSS line underneath is ready to copy — paste it as a background property and it works in every browser released in the last decade. Three colors produce richer gradients than two, and the middle color is the one that makes or breaks the design.

The tool runs in your browser. There is no server call, no image generated, no file to download. What you see in the preview is what the browser renders from the CSS, which means the result in production will be identical.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work in all browsers?

Yes. CSS gradients are supported in every modern browser. The generated code uses the standard syntax without vendor prefixes.

Can I add more than three colors?

The tool offers three color stops. For more complex gradients, start with the three-stop code and add stops manually in your CSS.

What is the angle?

The direction of the gradient in degrees. 0 goes upward, 90 goes right, 180 goes down. The slider covers 0 to 360.

Can I use it for text gradients?

Yes. Apply the gradient as background-image, set background-clip: text and color: transparent. The CSS this tool generates is the background-image part.

Is the gradient an image?

No. It is a CSS declaration. The browser renders it mathematically, so it is sharp at any size and adds no weight to the page.
