Gradient Generator

CSS gradients create smooth transitions between colors without using images. linear-gradient() transitions along a straight line at any angle, radial-gradient() radiates from a center point, and conic-gradient() sweeps around a center like a color wheel.

Each gradient takes color stops — the colors and optional positions where they appear. Two stops create a simple fade; multiple stops create complex patterns. Stops can overlap (creating hard lines) or be spread apart (creating smooth blends). You can layer multiple gradients using comma separation for advanced effects.

Gradients are resolution-independent (they scale perfectly to any size), file-size free (no image download), and easily animated with CSS transitions. They're used for backgrounds, overlays, text effects, progress bars, and decorative elements. This tool lets you build gradients visually and copy the exact CSS.
