How to Use the CSS Gradient Generator

Choose gradient type — Linear flows in a direction, Radial radiates from a center point, Conic sweeps around a center like a pie chart.

Set colors and positions — Each color stop has a hex color and percentage position. Drag the sliders or type values directly.

Adjust the angle — For linear gradients, the angle controls direction. 0° = bottom to top, 90° = left to right, 135° = diagonal.

Copy the CSS — Click Copy CSS to get the full background shorthand, or Copy bg only for just the gradient value.

CSS Gradient Code Examples

A basic two-color linear gradient: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff6b9d 0%, #ffe066 100%);

A radial gradient: background: radial-gradient(circle, #a3bffa 0%, #4f46e5 100%);

A multi-color rainbow gradient: background: linear-gradient(90deg, #ff0000, #ff8800, #ffff00, #00ff00, #0000ff);

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a CSS gradient background?

Set the background or background-image CSS property to linear-gradient(), radial-gradient(), or conic-gradient(). This tool generates the exact syntax for you — just copy and paste.

What is the difference between linear and radial CSS gradients?

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line at a specified angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical pattern. Conic gradients sweep around a center point like a color wheel.

Can I use CSS gradients as a background image replacement?

Yes. CSS gradients are scalable, fast, and require no HTTP requests — they're ideal for replacing decorative background images, button fills, section dividers, and hero backgrounds.

How many color stops can a CSS gradient have?

There's no hard browser limit — you can add dozens of color stops. However, 2–5 stops typically produce the most visually appealing results.

Does CSS gradient work on all browsers?

Yes. Linear and radial gradients are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers without any prefixes needed.
