CSS Gradient Generator
Design linear and radial CSS gradients visually and copy production-ready CSS code.
About this tool
Pick two or three colors, choose linear or radial, set the angle, and watch the gradient render live. The tool outputs clean, production-ready CSS you can copy straight into your stylesheet.
Gradients add depth to hero sections, buttons, and cards without any image downloads: a pure-CSS gradient costs zero bytes of assets and scales perfectly on every screen.
Common uses
- Design a hero-section background that matches brand colors
- Create gradient buttons and badges without image assets
- Generate subtle card backgrounds for dark and light themes
Frequently asked questions
What angle should a linear gradient use?
135deg (top-left to bottom-right) is the most common choice for backgrounds because it follows natural reading flow. 90deg gives a clean left-to-right sweep, and 180deg a simple top-to-bottom fade.
Do CSS gradients hurt page performance?
No. They are computed by the browser at paint time, cost no network requests, and are generally cheaper than an equivalent background image.
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing you type is transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.
