CSS Gradient Generator

CSS Gradient Generator lets you design linear and radial background gradients visually and grab the matching CSS instantly. Adjust colors, stop positions, and angle or shape, and the preview and code update together in real time — nothing is ever uploaded anywhere.

What is CSS Gradient Generator and Why is it Useful?

CSS Gradient Generator is a free browser tool for designing linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() backgrounds without memorizing CSS syntax or guessing at color stop percentages. It is useful for front-end developers, designers, and anyone building landing pages, buttons, or hero sections who wants a quick, accurate gradient without leaving the browser.

Key Features

• Linear and Radial Gradients: Choose between a linear gradient with a custom angle (0–360 degrees) or a radial gradient with a circle or ellipse shape.
• Multiple Color Stops: Start with two colors and add up to six color stops total, each with its own position from 0% to 100%. Stops are automatically rendered in position order, so reordering them in CSS output is never an issue.
• Live Preview That Matches the Code: The preview box and the copyable CSS code are generated from the exact same gradient definition, so what you see is always what you get.
• One-Click Copy: Copy the finished background: linear-gradient(...) or background: radial-gradient(...) declaration straight to your clipboard.
• Fully Client-Side: All color and position logic runs locally in your browser. No gradient data is ever sent to a server.

How to Use This Tool?

1. Pick a gradient type: Linear or Radial.
2. For linear gradients, set the angle in degrees; for radial gradients, choose Circle or Ellipse.
3. Set the color and position (0–100%) for each color stop. Use + Add Color Stop to add up to six stops, or Remove to drop a stop (at least two are always kept).
4. Watch the preview box update instantly as you adjust colors, positions, angle, or shape.
5. Click Copy CSS to copy the generated background declaration and paste it into your stylesheet.

Why Choose Our Client-Side Tool?

Many gradient builders are simple two-color demos that don't reflect what real interfaces need — multi-stop transitions, precise stop positions, and both linear and radial control. This tool covers all of that while running fully offline once loaded, with zero network requests and zero data collection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How many color stops can I add?

You can use between two and six color stops. Each stop has its own color and position percentage, and stops are always rendered in position order in the final CSS.

What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line at the angle you set (in degrees). A radial gradient transitions colors outward from a center point, using either a circle or an ellipse shape.

Is the preview guaranteed to match the copied CSS code?

Yes. The preview box and the CSS code box are both generated from the same gradient state, so the colors and positions you see in the preview are exactly what gets copied.

Is my gradient data sent anywhere?

No. All colors, positions, and calculations stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
