Quick Answer
A CSS gradient generator lets you build a linear-gradient visually instead of typing it. Pick an angle, choose two colors and their stop positions, watch the live preview, and copy the resulting one-line CSS.
What This Tool Does
Controls for type, angle, position, three colors and three stops drive a live preview and the generated CSS. Every change updates the output instantly, so you can iterate until the gradient feels right, then copy the final declaration.
Key Features
- Linear or radial — choose the gradient type; radial lets you set the position.
- Three color stops — build richer gradients, not just two-color fades.
- Live preview — see the gradient as you drag any slider.
- Angle control — 0–360°, any direction.
- Presets — Sunset, Ocean, Purple, Forest and Amber in one click.
- Copy-ready CSS — a complete
backgrounddeclaration, one click.
How to Use the CSS Gradient Generator
- Pick Linear or Radial; for linear, drag the Angle slider.
- Pick up to three colors and their stop positions.
- Check the live preview (or start from a preset).
- Click Copy CSS and paste the declaration into your stylesheet.
Use Cases
- Buttons and hero backgrounds with a branded feel.
- Quick mockups where a subtle two-color fade beats a flat fill.
- Learning how angle and stops change a gradient.
Tips
- Angles like
135degread as top-left to bottom-right — the classic look. - Move the stops close together for a sharp transition, apart for a soft wash.
- For a third color, chain gradients — layer two backgrounds in one declaration.
