Gradient Generator: Smooth Color Transitions for Backgrounds
Gradients turn flat colors into rich backgrounds β modern web design uses them everywhere. This generator builds linear, radial, and conic gradients with multiple color stops, outputting CSS code ready to paste.
CSS gradients are technically image fills, not real images. They render natively in browsers, scale to any size, and don't add network requests. They're cheap, beautiful, and infinitely tweakable.
Gradient types
- β’Linear β color flows in a single direction (top-to-bottom, diagonal, etc.)
- β’Radial β color radiates from a center point outward
- β’Conic β color sweeps around a center like a clock hand (newer, less ubiquitous)
- β’Multiple stops β three or more colors at chosen positions for more complex transitions
Extended FAQ
Why does my gradient have visible bands?
Color banding from too few intermediate values. Add more stops, or convert from sRGB to OKLCH gradients which interpolate more smoothly across colors.
Are my gradients stored?
No. The gradient is only a CSS rule this page writes for you. Copy it and the page has no further record of it.
