What is Gradient Generator?

The CSS Gradient Generator is a free online tool that lets you create beautiful linear and radial CSS gradients with a live preview and instant CSS code output, ready to copy into your stylesheet. CSS gradients are one of the most powerful visual tools in web design — they are used for backgrounds, buttons, hero sections, overlays, text effects, and borders to create rich, colorful designs without using image files. Writing gradient CSS by hand requires memorizing syntax and guessing color stop positions without seeing the result. This tool gives you a visual interface to pick colors, set stop positions, choose gradient direction or angle, and see the exact result in real time. Supports unlimited color stops for complex multi-color gradients, and generates clean, cross-browser compatible CSS output.
