Create beautiful CSS gradients with linear and radial options, multiple color stops, and angle control.
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #6366f1 0%, #ec4899 100%);CSS gradients are images generated by the browser that transition smoothly between two or more colors. They can be linear (along a line) or radial (from a center point). Gradients are widely used in modern web design for backgrounds, buttons, and visual effects.
Unlike solid colors, gradients add depth and visual interest to your designs. They're lightweight (no image files needed) and can be animated or combined with other CSS properties for stunning effects.

How do I create a CSS gradient?
Use our gradient generator to visually create your gradient. Adjust colors, positions, and angle using the controls. When you're satisfied, copy the generated CSS code and paste it into your stylesheet.
What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?
Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line (specified by angle), while radial gradients transition colors from a center point outward in a circular pattern. Linear gradients are more common for backgrounds, while radial works well for spotlights and circular effects.
Can I use multiple colors in a gradient?
Yes! You can add multiple color stops to create complex gradients. Each stop has a color and a position (0-100%). The browser will smoothly transition between all the colors in order.
How do I make a gradient transparent?
Use rgba() or hsla() color values for your color stops. For example: rgba(255,0,0,0) creates a fully transparent red. You can also use the 'transparent' keyword which is equivalent to rgba(0,0,0,0).
