CSS Gradient Generator
Design beautiful CSS gradients with a live visual editor. Choose between linear and radial gradient types, set the angle for linear gradients, and add as many color stops as you need. The tool generates clean, copy-ready CSS that works in all modern browsers.
Start with one of the preset palettes — Sunset, Ocean, Forest, or Berry — and customize from there. Each color stop has a color picker and a position slider, and you can add or remove stops at any time.
The live preview updates instantly as you edit, so you can see exactly how your gradient will look before copying the CSS. Everything runs client-side with zero dependencies.

Frequently asked questions
What CSS gradient syntax does this generate?▼
The tool generates standard CSS background shorthand using linear-gradient() or radial-gradient(). The output works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) without vendor prefixes.
How many color stops can I add?▼
There's no practical limit. You start with two stops (minimum required for a gradient) and can add as many as you need. Most gradients look best with 2-4 stops.
Can I create conic gradients?▼
This tool currently supports linear and radial gradients. Conic gradients (the kind used for pie-chart-like effects) may be added in a future update.
How do I use the generated CSS?▼
Click 'Copy CSS' to copy the background property to your clipboard, then paste it into your stylesheet. The output is a single background declaration — apply it to any element.
