Build CSS linear, radial, or conic gradients with a live preview. Adjust colors and direction, then copy the CSS.
Choose a gradient type (linear, radial, or conic), add color stops, adjust their positions, and see the result live. The generated CSS background property is ready to copy and paste directly into your project. Add as many color stops as you need.
Select a gradient type, adjust the angle (for linear/conic), click color swatches to change colors, and drag sliders to set stop positions. Click + Add color to add more stops. Copy the CSS from the dark code block on the right.
Gradients earn their keep when they help establish atmosphere, depth, or emphasis without adding a full image asset. The useful part of a generator is speed: you can compare direction, stop placement, and gradient type quickly enough to make design decisions while the idea is still fresh.
This tool keeps that exploration visual and produces CSS you can reuse once the treatment is right.
Gradients can add depth and motion without the weight of an image, but large surfaces also make bad stop placement and muddy color transitions very obvious.
Buttons, banners, and highlighted panels can benefit from subtle gradients, but they can also look dated fast if the transition is too aggressive.
Using approved colors in a gradient sounds simple until the blend between them stops looking like the brand the moment they meet in the middle.
Most gradients improve when they start simple. More stops are not automatically more refined.
Angles and stop percentages are hard to reason about abstractly. A live preview is what turns them into a design decision.
A gradient may look good by itself and still work badly once text, icons, or cards sit on top of it.
This is where gradients often earn their keep: giving a page a distinct atmosphere without needing a heavy image asset.
If several components should share the same visual language, copying one exact CSS gradient is cleaner than approximating it by hand in multiple places.
These gradient types can be visually effective, but they are also easier to overdo. A generator helps you find that out quickly.
This tool generates gradient CSS. It does not decide accessible foreground colors, build a full color system, or tell you whether the effect fits your layout. It gives you a usable gradient value, not the whole design judgment.
Gradients are easy to add and surprisingly easy to get wrong. The value of a generator is not just speed. It is reducing the number of design iterations wasted on avoidable syntax fiddling.
A conic gradient rotates colors around a central point. It's useful for pie charts, color wheels, dial effects, and any design where color transitions in a sweep rather than a line.
As many as you like — click + Add color to insert additional stops. The CSS is valid regardless of how many stops you use.
