What is the CSS Gradient Generator?

Think of the CSS Gradient Generator as a digital mixing palette for your website's atmosphere. Gradients are no longer just simple color fades; they are a sophisticated way to add depth, light, and energy to buttons, backgrounds, and headers without the overhead of heavy image files.

This tool bridges the gap between complex mathematical CSS declarations and your creative vision. Whether you need a subtle Linear transition, a glowing Radial sunburst, or a modern Conic sweep, our generator provides an interactive playground to experiment with up to five color stops and real-time positioning.

Pro Tips

Repeating Patterns

Use the Repeating toggle with color stops placed close together (e.g., 0% and 10%) to create stripe or ring effects.

Accessibility

Always test your text color against the darkest and lightest parts of the gradient to ensure WCAG compliance.

Layering

Gradients work best as backgrounds. Try applying a subtle linear gradient to a button to give it a modern 3D "pop."
