CSS Gradient Generator — Build Linear, Radial & Conic Gradients Visually — Step-by-Step Guide
Master the art of creating beautiful CSS gradients for your websites and UI designs.
What are CSS Gradients?
CSS gradients are smooth transitions between two or more colors. They are created using pure CSS code, meaning you don't need to load heavy image files for backgrounds. They are high-resolution, scale perfectly, and are easy to maintain.
Types of Gradients
- Linear Gradient: Transitions colors along a straight line (directional).
- Radial Gradient: Radiates colors from a center point (circular or elliptical).
- Conic Gradient: Rotates colors around a center point (angular sweep).
How to Use the Generator
- Select Type: Choose Linear, Radial, or Conic at the top.
- Customize Colors: Click on color stops to pick your colors. Use the "Add Stop" button for more complex designs.
- Adjust Angle/Position: Use the slider to change the direction of the gradient.
- Copy Code: Use the "Copy" buttons to get the clean CSS or a version with vendor prefixes for maximum compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are vendor prefixes?
Vendor prefixes like `-webkit-` help older browsers (like older versions of Safari or Chrome) understand modern CSS properties. Our tool generates these automatically for you.
Can I use more than two colors?
Yes! You can add as many color stops as you want to create rainbow effects, sunset themes, or complex multi-color UI backgrounds.
