About this tool

CSS gradients let you paint smooth colour transitions as backgrounds without any image files, and this generator builds them visually. Choose linear, radial or conic, add as many colour stops as you like, adjust the angle or centre, and copy production-ready CSS you can paste straight into a stylesheet.

Working visually removes the trial-and-error of hand-writing gradient syntax, especially once multiple stops and precise positions are involved. The live preview updates as you tweak, so you can dial in exactly the transition you want and see how it behaves before committing.

It runs in your browser and outputs clean CSS with no dependencies, so the result is just a background declaration you own. Use it for hero sections, buttons, cards and decorative backgrounds — anywhere a gradient reads better than a flat colour or a heavy image.

Frequently asked questions

What types of gradient can it create?
Linear, radial and conic gradients, each with multiple colour stops, so you can produce straight transitions, circular blends and swept, pie-like effects.
Can I add more than two colours?
Yes. You can add unlimited colour stops and position them along the gradient, which lets you build rich multi-colour transitions.
Does it give me copyable CSS?
Yes. It generates a ready-to-use CSS background declaration you can copy and paste directly into your stylesheet.
Are CSS gradients better than images?
For colour transitions, usually yes — they scale to any size without quality loss, add no extra network request, and are easy to tweak in code.
Does it run locally?
Yes. The generator works entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
