Build CSS gradients without writing code
Design linear or radial gradients visually — set the angle, drop in as many color stops as you need, and drag each one to fine-tune where the colors blend. The preview updates instantly and the CSS copies in one click.
Where gradients shine
- Hero sections & buttons — modern depth without images.
- Backgrounds — subtle two-tone fades that stay crisp at any size.
- Image overlays — fade a photo to dark so white text stays readable.
Tips
Two or three stops give the smoothest blend; add more only for deliberate bands. Use 135deg for a diagonal. Gradients are vector, so they never pixelate and add zero image weight to your page.
A gradient behind text is where contrast quietly fails, since the effective background changes across the element. Check the text against both ends of it with the contrast checker.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the CSS Gradient Generator.
How do I create a CSS gradient?
Choose linear or radial, set the angle or position, add your color stops, and copy the generated `background` value into your CSS. The preview updates live as you change anything.
What is the difference between a linear and a radial gradient?
A linear gradient blends colors along a straight line at an angle you pick; a radial gradient blends outward from a center point as a circle or ellipse.
Can I add more than two colors?
Yes — add as many color stops as you like and position each one to control exactly where the colors blend.
How do I make a diagonal gradient?
Set the angle to 135deg for top-left to bottom-right, or any value from 0–360deg for any direction.
Is the generated CSS free to use?
Yes. Copy the `background: linear-gradient(…)` output and use it in any project — no signup, no attribution.
