About Gradient Generator

The Gradient Generator builds CSS gradients visually — pick two colors, choose linear, radial or conic, set the angle and watch the live preview update instantly. When it looks right, copy the ready-to-paste CSS declaration with one click.

Gradients add depth to hero sections, buttons, cards and backgrounds without any image files, which keeps pages fast. The Random button is great for exploring combinations you wouldn't have tried yourself.

The generated code is plain standard CSS (`linear-gradient`, `radial-gradient`, `conic-gradient`) that works in every modern browser.

How to Use the Gradient Generator

  1. Choose a gradient type — linear, radial or conic.
  2. Pick your two colors and, for linear/conic gradients, set the angle.
  3. Check the live preview, then click Copy CSS to grab the declaration.

Features

  • Linear, radial and conic gradient types
  • Live preview with adjustable angle
  • One-click copy of the complete CSS declaration

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between linear, radial and conic gradients?

Linear gradients blend colors along a straight line at an angle, radial gradients radiate outward from the center, and conic gradients sweep colors around the center like a color wheel.

Do CSS gradients affect page performance?

They're rendered by the browser with no extra downloads, so they're far lighter than background images — usually the fastest way to add rich color to a design.

Is the Gradient Generator free?

Yes, the Gradient Generator is completely free with no usage limits. No signup, no account and no installation required.

Does the Gradient Generator work on mobile?

Yes. The Gradient Generator is fully responsive and works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and desktops.
