Visually build beautiful CSS gradients with an interactive color stop editor. Supports linear, radial, and conic gradient types. Get a copy-ready CSS output with live preview and curated presets.
CSS gradients are one of the most powerful design tools in modern web development, replacing static background images with scalable, resolution-independent color transitions. Our gradient generator gives you full visual control over every parameter — gradient type, angle, color stops, and opacity — without writing a single line of CSS manually.
The live preview updates in real-time as you configure each setting, so you see exactly what will render in a browser before copying the code.
Linear, Radial & Conic Gradients Explained
Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line at any angle. Radial gradients emanate from a center point outward in circle or ellipse shapes. Conic gradients sweep colors around a center point like a color wheel.
Each type has distinct use cases: linear gradients for backgrounds and buttons, radial for spotlights and glows, and conic for pie-chart effects, color wheels, and unique modern designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click the "Copy CSS" button to copy the background property. Paste it directly into your CSS file inside any selector, e.g. `.hero { background: linear-gradient(...); }`. It works in all modern browsers without any prefix.
A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line in a set direction. A radial gradient radiates from a center point outward. Use linear for horizontal/vertical/diagonal flows and radial for spotlight or glow effects.
Each color stop has an Opacity field (0–100%). Reducing this below 100 will automatically convert the hex color to an rgba() value in the CSS output, creating smooth transparent transitions.
Yes! Click "Add Stop" to insert additional color stops. The tool automatically finds the largest gap between existing stops and places the new one there. You can add as many stops as needed.
