CSS Gradient Generator
Create linear and radial CSS gradients with a visual preview.
About this tool
Create linear and radial CSS gradients with a visual preview. Experiment with motion, layout, and color in real time — then copy values into your stylesheet.
Choose linear or radial, then set angle (for linear) and color stops. Preview the gradient on the canvas. Example — Horizontal brand wash: try `linear 90deg, #3B82F6 → #06B6D4` and expect something like `background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #3B82F6, #06B6D4);`.
Conic gradients and complex mid-stop easing are limited compared to full design tools. See also: Box Shadow Generator, and Color Converter. Runs in your browser — nothing you paste gets uploaded.
How to use
- Choose linear or radial, then set angle (for linear) and color stops.
- Preview the gradient on the canvas.
- Copy the background-image declaration into your stylesheet.
- Export stop colors to the Color Converter if you need HEX/HSL variants.
Example
Horizontal brand wash
Input
linear 90deg, #3B82F6 → #06B6D4
Output
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, #3B82F6, #06B6D4);
Limitations
- Conic gradients and complex mid-stop easing are limited compared to full design tools.
- Does not generate mesh gradients or SVG alternatives.
- Color space interpolation (Oklab/LCH) depends on the browser applying the CSS you paste.
