What You Can Do with This CSS Gradient Generator
Design CSS Background Gradients
Create modern CSS background gradients for hero sections, website headers, cards, sections, app screens, buttons, banners, and visual accents.
Edit Multiple Color Stops
Add, remove, reverse, drag, and adjust color stops from 0% to 100%. Use duplicate stop positions for sharp transitions and hard color breaks. To create an intermediate blend between two stops, use the Color Mixer and the online color mixing guide.
Copy Production-Ready CSS
Copy clean CSS using linear-gradient(), radial-gradient(), conic-gradient(), or repeating gradient functions.
Start from Gradient Presets
Use curated gradient presets such as ocean blue, sunset glow, radial glow, pastel gradients, and conic rainbow-style gradients as starting points. For a gradient based on one hue, generate coordinated values with the Color Shades & Tints Generator and review the guide to tints, shades, and tones.
CSS Gradient Types Supported
Compare the available gradient functions and choose the layout that matches the direction, focal point, or repeating pattern you need.
| Gradient Type | Best For | Example CSS Function |
|---|---|---|
| Linear gradient | Hero backgrounds, website sections, buttons, cards, overlays, and angled color blends. | linear-gradient(135deg, ...) |
| Radial gradient | Spotlight effects, soft glows, background depth, decorative highlights, and UI surfaces. | radial-gradient(circle at center, ...) |
| Conic gradient | Color wheels, badges, chart-like effects, progress visuals, and energetic decorative gradients. | conic-gradient(from 0deg at center, ...) |
| Repeating gradient | Pattern backgrounds, stripes, bands, repeating rings, and decorative texture-like CSS effects. | repeating-linear-gradient(...) |
How to Use the CSS Gradient Generator
- Choose a gradient type. Select linear, radial, or conic gradient depending on the background effect you want.
- Edit the gradient settings. Change the angle, direction preset, radial shape, size, position, conic start angle, or center point.
- Adjust color stops. Pick colors, type HEX codes, drag stop handles, or enter exact stop percentages. To reuse an existing visual color, sample it with the Screen Color Picker or extract it from a file with the Image Color Picker.
- Preview the result. Check the wide live preview and optionally enable overlay text to see how sample content looks.
- Copy the CSS. Use the CSS Output panel to copy a ready-to-use
backgrounddeclaration.

Tips for Positioning Gradient Color Stops
Use these stop-position patterns to control smooth blends, sharp transitions, repeating effects, and reusable brand gradients.
| Goal | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Smooth blend | Spread color stops apart, such as 0%, 50%, and 100%. |
| Hard color break | Place two color stops at the same percentage to create a sharp transition. |
| Visible repeating gradient | Move the final stop below 100%, such as 20%, 30%, or 50%, so the pattern repeats within the element. |
| Reusable brand gradient | Use exact brand HEX colors and precise stop positions, then copy the CSS into your design system. |
Example CSS Gradient Output
The generated code is formatted as a standard CSS background declaration, so it can be pasted into a stylesheet, React component, Vue component, WordPress custom CSS field, Webflow embed, or other frontend workflow.
background: linear-gradient(
135deg,
#2563EB 0%,
#7C3AED 50%,
#EC4899 100%
);
Private Browser-Based CSS Gradient Creation
This online CSS gradient generator works locally in your browser after the page loads. It does not require an account, does not upload your gradient values, and does not depend on an external color-generation API. The live preview uses native CSS gradients, keeping the tool lightweight and responsive.
For important text on top of gradients, remember that contrast can change from one side of the gradient to another. Use the overlay preview for a quick visual check, and test each important placement with the Color Contrast Checker when accessibility matters. The WCAG color contrast guide explains how to interpret the results.
