How css gradient generator works

A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors. CSS supports three types: linear gradients (colors flow in a direction), radial gradients (colors radiate from a center point), and conic gradients (colors sweep around a center).

This generator lets you choose the gradient type, set the from and to colors, and adjust the angle (for linear and conic). It produces valid CSS code you can copy and paste into your stylesheet. The live preview shows exactly how the gradient will look.

Use hex colors (like #4f8cff) for the from and to fields. The angle is in degrees (0-360). For linear gradients, 0deg means bottom-to-top, 90deg means left-to-right. Experiment with different angles and colors to find the perfect gradient for your design.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CSS gradient?

A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between colors created with the linear-gradient(), radial-gradient(), or conic-gradient() functions. Gradients are used for backgrounds, buttons, and visual design elements.

What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?

A linear gradient flows in a straight line (e.g. left to right, top to bottom). A radial gradient radiates outward from a center point in all directions. Conic gradients sweep around a center like a color wheel.

How do I use the generated CSS?

Copy the CSS code and use it as a background property. For example: background: linear-gradient(90deg, #4f8cff, #22c55e); The generator produces ready-to-use code.

Can I use more than two colors?

Yes. CSS gradients support any number of color stops. This generator focuses on two-color gradients for simplicity, but you can manually add more stops in the CSS code.
