CSS Gradient Generator

CSS Gradient Generator builds valid CSS `linear-gradient()` and `radial-gradient()` values visually, so you never have to memorize the syntax for color stops, angles, or shape keywords. You pick two or more colors, set an angle for linear gradients (0deg points up, 90deg points right) or a shape and position for radial gradients, and a live preview panel repaints instantly as you drag color pickers or move stops along the track. When the result looks right, you click Copy CSS and paste a ready-to-use declaration like `background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);` straight into your stylesheet.

Everything runs client-side in your browser using the same rendering engine that will eventually display your gradient in production, so the preview is pixel-accurate and nothing you create is ever uploaded to a server. Your color choices stay on your machine.

Real uses are everywhere in modern web work: hero section backgrounds, button and card fills, overlay tints on photos, subtle section dividers, and CSS-only mesh-style backgrounds built by layering multiple gradients. Designers use it to prototype palettes fast; front-end developers use it to avoid exporting heavy PNGs when a gradient will do; students use it to learn how angle values and percentage stops actually behave. Because gradients are pure CSS, they scale to any resolution, add zero image weight, and render on every modern browser without extra requests.

Practical tips: add a third color stop to create a soft midpoint or a two-tone band; keep adjacent stops close together (for example 49% and 51%) to fake a hard color split; and repeat a gradient with `background-size` for stripes. For text gradients, combine the output with `background-clip: text` and a transparent fill. If your gradient looks banded, add an intermediate stop in a slightly different hue to smooth the transition. Since the tool outputs standard CSS with no vendor prefixes required for current browsers, what you copy is exactly what ships.
