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 — nothing you type is transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.
