What is a CSS gradient?
A CSS gradient is a dynamic background image rule that allows web developers to display smooth transitions between two or more colors. Because they are rendered programmatically by the browser, they do not require downloading image assets, helping optimize website performance.
What is a linear gradient?
A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line. You can customize the direction of this transition using degrees (0° to 360°) or preset keyword directions (like to top, to right, to bottom, to left).
What is a radial gradient?
A radial gradient originates color transitions from a central focal point and radiates outwards in a circular or elliptical pattern. It is perfect for creating soft lighting details or round UI cards.
What is a conic gradient?
A conic gradient transitions colors rotated around a central focal point (like a pie chart or color wheel). The transition starts at a specified angle and sweeps 360 degrees clockwise.
Can I use more than two colors?
Yes! Our tool supports adding an unlimited number of color stops along the gradient track. Simply click on the track slider to insert a new stop, pick its color, and drag it to adjust the position.
How do I change the angle?
For linear and conic gradients, drag the horizontal Angle Slider or click the quick presets buttons (like To Top, To Right, To Bottom, To Left, or Diagonal) to configure the transition angle.
Is the generated CSS compatible with all browsers?
Yes, the generated CSS uses standard CSS3 syntax (linear-gradient, radial-gradient, and conic-gradient), which is natively supported by 99% of active browsers globally.
Can I copy the CSS code?
Yes, you can copy the completed code with one click using the copy buttons in the CSS Output field.
Is this tool free?
Yes, our CSS Gradient Generator is completely free with no registration requirements.
Can I use gradients for buttons?
Yes, gradient background values can be applied to buttons, call-to-actions, hero headers, or section backgrounds in CSS stylesheets to make your layouts pop.
How do gradients affect accessibility?
If you place text on top of a gradient background, you must ensure that there is a sufficient contrast ratio (at least 4.5:1 for standard text) between the text color and all areas of the underlying gradient. Our tool calculates contrast automatically and suggests the best readable text color.
Which gradient type should I choose?
Use linear gradients for standard UI blocks and clean background sweeps. Use radial gradients for light flares or spherical graphics. Use conic gradients for color wheels, loading wheels, or circular stats widgets.
