CSS gradient generator
A CSS gradient generator creates background gradient declarations in seconds. Linear gradients flow in a single direction, perfect for subtle backgrounds or eye-catching overlays. Radial gradients emanate from a center point, ideal for spotlight effects or smooth color transitions. Choose your gradient type, set the angle for linear gradients (0–360 degrees), and pick two colors—hex codes, RGB, RGBA, or named colors all work. The tool generates a complete CSS background property ready to paste into your stylesheet.
Gradients are one of the most versatile design elements in modern CSS. They reduce file size compared to image backgrounds, scale infinitely, and animate smoothly in browsers. The live preview shows exactly how your gradient looks as you adjust colors and angles. Copy the output and apply it to any element—a page background, a button, a hero section, or a card overlay.
Everything runs in your browser, so your color choices and settings remain private. No data is sent anywhere. The tool works offline too, so you can generate gradients anywhere, anytime. Whether you are designing a website, prototyping an app, or just experimenting with color combinations, this generator speeds up your workflow. Tweak the angle, swap colors, and see the CSS update instantly.
FAQ
What is a CSS gradient?
A CSS gradient is a smooth color transition rendered directly by the browser. Linear gradients transition along a line; radial gradients emanate from a center point. Both are lightweight, scalable, and can be animated.
What angle do I use for different directions?
For linear gradients: 0° is left-to-right, 90° is top-to-bottom, 180° is right-to-left, 270° is bottom-to-top. Any angle between 0 and 360 degrees works. Radial gradients do not use an angle.
Can I use any color format?
Yes. Hex codes (#FF0000), RGB (rgb(255, 0, 0)), RGBA with transparency (rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)), HSL, and named colors (red, blue) all work in CSS gradients.
Is my color data sent anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your colors, angles, and settings never leave your device.
