- 01All three CSS gradient types — linear, radial, and conic — are supported with live preview.
- 02Add up to six color stops, each with an independent position and color.
- 03The output is a complete background declaration ready to paste into any stylesheet.
- 04No sign-up, no install, and nothing is uploaded — everything runs in your browser.
Why Use a Visual Gradient Generator?
Writing CSS gradients by hand gets tedious fast. The syntax is readable once you know it, but choosing exact stop positions and colors without a visual preview turns a simple design decision into trial-and-error in DevTools. A generator lets you see the result in real time and export clean code the moment it looks right.
This tool supports all three modern gradient types. Linear is the classic directional blend you'll use for hero backgrounds and buttons. Radial spreads outward from a point — great for spot lighting effects and vignettes. Conic sweeps around a center, making it the go-to for pie chart segments, color wheels, and spinner indicators. Start from one of the built-in presets (Lime Swiss, Sunset, Sky, Aurora) or design from scratch.
How to Generate a CSS Gradient
The whole process takes under a minute.
- 01
Choose a gradient type
Select Linear, Radial, or Conic from the type selector. For linear, also set the angle. The preview updates immediately.
- 02
Add and position color stops
Click Add Stop to insert a new stop, then drag its slider or type a percentage to position it. Up to six stops are supported — stops re-sort by position automatically.
- 03
Pick each stop's color
Click the color swatch to open the system color picker, or type a hex value directly. Both RGB and hex formats work.
- 04
Preview in real time
The preview panel renders your gradient using the browser's native gradient engine, so the result matches exactly what the CSS will produce in production.
- 05
Copy the CSS declaration
Click Copy to grab the complete background: linear-gradient(...) declaration. Paste it into a stylesheet, a styled component, or a Tailwind arbitrary value like bg-[<value>].
Common Gradient Use Cases
Each gradient type excels in a different scenario.
- 01Hero section backgrounds — linear gradient at 135° for a modern diagonal sweep.
- 02Button hover states — subtle two-stop linear gradient for depth.
- 03Radial spotlight or vignette — dark-to-transparent radial on an image overlay.
- 04Pie charts and progress rings — conic gradient with hard stops.
- 05Color-wheel selector previews — full-spectrum conic gradient.
- 06Text gradients — apply the gradient to the background, then use background-clip: text.
Runs Entirely in Your Browser
The gradient generator runs 100% client-side — no data is sent to any server. The preview is rendered by your browser's own CSS engine, which means what you see matches what any visitor's browser will render with the same CSS.
One practical note: email clients still have spotty support for CSS gradients. If you're pasting generated CSS into an HTML email template, add a solid background-color fallback before the gradient declaration so recipients on older clients see something reasonable.
CSS Gradient Generator FAQ
What's the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?
Linear gradients transition along a straight line at a given angle. Radial gradients spread outward from a center point — useful for highlights and spot effects. Conic gradients sweep around a center like clock hands — ideal for pie segments and color wheels.
Can I use this for Tailwind CSS projects?
Yes. Copy the generated value and use it as a Tailwind arbitrary value, for example: bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,#ff6b6b,#4ecdc4)]. Tailwind will include it in your output stylesheet.
Does the preview match exactly what I'll see on the live site?
Yes — the preview is rendered by the same browser gradient engine that will render your live CSS, so the output is pixel-accurate.
Can I use CSS gradients in email templates?
Most email clients don't support CSS gradients reliably. Always add a solid background-color before your gradient declaration as a fallback.
Is there a limit on the number of color stops?
The generator supports up to six stops. For most designs two to four is enough; more than six tends to reduce clarity rather than add richness.
