CSS Gradient Generator | Linear and Radial CSS
Create linear or radial CSS gradients with color stops, angle controls, live preview, and copy-ready background code.
Create CSS Gradients
Choose colors, gradient type, and angle to generate linear or radial CSS background code for buttons, banners, hero sections, cards, and design experiments.
Pick Colors That Stay Readable
Gradient backgrounds can reduce text contrast when colors are too bright or too similar. Test headings, buttons, and labels on the final gradient before publishing.
When Gradients Work Well
Use gradients for visual depth, brand accents, landing page backgrounds, and callout sections. For interface controls, keep states and accessibility clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?
A linear gradient transitions colours along a straight line at a set angle. A radial gradient radiates outward from a central point in a circle or ellipse.
Can I create a gradient with transparency?
Yes. Use rgba() or hsla() colour values in your stops to include an alpha channel and create fades to transparent.
Does it include browser prefix fallbacks?
Modern browsers support gradients without prefixes. The generator outputs standard syntax and optionally includes -webkit- fallbacks for legacy browsers.
