About CSS Gradient Generator
Create CSS gradients for backgrounds, buttons, and hero sections without leaving the browser. Switch among linear, radial, and conic types, set angle or position, add up to eight color stops, and copy a ready `background:` declaration or the bare gradient value. Pair it with the HEX to RGB Converter for stop colors or the CSS Minifier before you ship. Nothing is uploaded.

- Set the angle (linear / conic) or shape and position (radial / conic).

CSS Gradient Generator Examples
Diagonal brand wash
linear-gradient(135deg, #3b82f6 0%, #ec4899 100%) - a common hero or card background.
Soft radial spotlight
radial-gradient(circle at center, #ffffff 0%, #e2e8f0 100%) for a soft vignette or modal backdrop.
Conic color wheel
conic-gradient(from 0deg at center, #ff0000 0%, #00ff00 50%, #0000ff 100%) for charts and decorative rings.
Three-stop linear fade
Add a middle stop (e.g. #22c55e at 50%) between two brand colors for a richer blend.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSS Gradient Generator
- What CSS gradient types does this tool support?
- Linear, radial, and conic. Linear uses an angle in degrees. Radial picks circle or ellipse plus a position. Conic uses a from-angle and position.
- How do color stops work?
- Each stop is a hex color plus an optional position from 0% to 100%. Leave the position empty to let the browser space stops evenly. You need at least two valid colors.
- Should I copy the full background rule or just the gradient?
- Use Copy background for `background: linear-gradient(...);` ready to paste. Use Copy value when you need the function alone, for example inside `background-image` or a custom property.
- Can I use transparent or 8-digit hex?
- Yes. Enter #rrggbbaa (or pick a solid color and edit the hex). Invalid hex values are skipped until fixed.
- Does my input leave the device?
- No. The CSS Gradient Generator runs entirely in your browser. Colors and settings are not uploaded or stored on a server.
