Gradient Generator
Design CSS gradients visually with live preview, then copy the generated background code.
About Gradient Generator
CSS gradients are one of the fastest ways to add depth to a page, but getting the angle, color stops, and syntax right from memory takes trial and error. This generator lets you design the gradient visually and hands you the exact background code to paste, so there's no guessing at CSS function syntax.
Pick two colors and a direction, or add more color stops for a multi-color blend, then fine-tune with sliders for angle and radial radius. A live preview renders the real CSS so you see the exact result before copying. Switch between linear and radial modes to cover the two most common gradient styles.
Front-end developers use it for hero backgrounds, buttons, and section dividers, while UI designers refine mockups by tuning stops and angles until the blend feels right. Anyone building marketing pages, landing pages, or presentations can lift production-ready background code without writing CSS by hand.
How to Use
- Pick two colors and a gradient direction.
- Adjust the angle or radius with sliders.
- Copy the CSS background code.
Example
Linear, top-left to bottom-right, #2f6feb to #6f2feb linear-gradient(135deg, #2f6feb, #6f2feb)
The angle 135deg points from top-left to bottom-right, blending the two colors diagonally across the element.
FAQ
What's the difference between linear and radial?
Linear gradients blend along a straight line; radial gradients radiate outward from a center point.
Can I add more than two colors?
Yes, add color stops to create multi-color gradients with adjustable stop positions.
Does the preview represent the final result?
Yes, the preview uses the exact CSS that's copied, so what you see is what ships.
How do I make a gradient fade in a specific direction?
Use the angle slider or enter a degree value — 0deg fades to the right, 90deg fades downward, and 135deg runs from top-left to bottom-right. Radial gradients instead fade outward from a center point, which you can offset with the radius and position options.
Can I use these gradients with frameworks like Tailwind?
Yes. The linear-gradient or radial-gradient output is standard CSS, so you can paste it into inline styles, CSS files, or a Tailwind arbitrary value like bg-[linear-gradient(...)]. It works anywhere CSS background properties are supported.
