What is CSS Gradient

CSS gradients are a technique that achieves backgrounds and decorations that smoothly blend two or more colors using only CSS code, without image files.

Linear Gradient (linear-gradient)

A gradient where colors change linearly along a specified angle or direction. Angles can be freely set from 0 degrees (upward) to 360 degrees (full circle), and direction specifications like 'to bottom' and 'to right' are also possible.

Radial Gradient (radial-gradient)

A gradient where colors spread radially from the center. You can choose circle or ellipse shapes, and adjust the center position and spread. Suitable for button and icon decoration.

What are Color Stops

Color stops are positions where specific colors are placed within a gradient. Any number of colors can be placed at any position from 0% (start position) to 100% (end position). Combining multiple color stops creates complex and beautiful gradients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CSS gradient generator free?

Yes, it's completely free to use. No registration required, and it runs in your browser, so you can start using it immediately.

What's the difference between linear-gradient and radial-gradient?

linear-gradient is a linear gradient where colors change linearly, while radial-gradient is a radial gradient where colors spread from the center. Linear works well for buttons and banners, while radial suits icons and decorations.

How many colors can I use in a gradient?

Theoretically unlimited, but 2-4 colors are recommended for visually beautiful gradients. Too many colors make gradients complex and designs harder to unify.

Can I use it on smartphones?

Yes, designed mobile-first and works comfortably on smartphones. Features touch-optimized sliders and color pickers.

Can I add my own preset gradients?

The current version provides 6 presets (Sunset, Ocean, Forest, etc.), but custom preset saving functionality is planned for future addition.

Do CSS gradients work in older browsers?

linear-gradient and radial-gradient are supported in IE10+, Chrome 26+, Firefox 16+, and Safari 7+. For older browsers, specifying fallback background colors is recommended.

What is the performance impact of gradients?

CSS gradients improve page load speed as they don't require loading image files. However, complex gradients or combinations with animations may increase rendering load.

Can I use the generated CSS code as-is?

Yes, the generated code can be used immediately by copying and pasting it into your CSS file. It's written as a background property and ready to apply.
