CSS Gradient Generator — Linear & Radial, Unlimited Stops

About this CSS Gradient Generator

Gradients can turn a flat design into something that feels polished, modern, and dimensional. This CSS Gradient Generator helps you create beautiful linear or radial gradients and gives you the exact CSS code to use in your website, app, or design mockup. It is a quick, visual way to experiment with color blends and see the results instantly, without needing to write the syntax by hand.

A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors. Linear gradients flow in a direction (like left to right or top to bottom), while radial gradients spread out from a center point. Each transition point is called a color stop, and the percentage for each stop controls how fast or slow the blend changes. By adjusting angles, shapes, and stop positions, you can create everything from subtle backgrounds to bold hero sections and glossy button effects.

How to use it step by step

1. Select a gradient type: linear for directional blends, or radial for circular fades.
2. Pick your colors and set their positions in the color stop list.
3. Adjust the angle or radial shape to match your layout.
4. Fine-tune the stop percentages for smoother or more dramatic transitions.
5. Copy the generated CSS and paste it into your stylesheet.

This tool is useful for web designers, front-end developers, and anyone building visual content. Create a background gradient for a landing page, add a soft overlay to a photo, design a call-to-action button, or generate a repeating gradient for patterns. If you need inspiration, try the preset gradients or use the randomize button to explore color palettes quickly.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so your colors and settings stay private. Because CSS gradients are vector-based and GPU-friendly, they often render faster and load lighter than image backgrounds. That makes them a smart choice for responsive design, where layouts must look good across different screen sizes.
