About the Gradient Generator

The free online CSS gradient generator lets you create stunning linear, radial, and conic gradients instantly. Whether you're designing a hero section background, a subtle UI accent, or a vibrant brand palette, this tool provides real-time preview and one-click CSS code copying — no sign-up or login required.

Choose between linear, radial, or conic gradient types, then add up to 8 color stops with precise percentage positions. Adjust the angle for linear/conic gradients or pick between ellipse and circle shapes for radial gradients. Every change updates the live preview instantly, and the generated CSS is ready to copy and paste into your project.

Common Use Cases

  • Create gradient backgrounds for website hero sections and landing pages
  • Design UI accent gradients for buttons, cards, badges, and hover effects
  • Generate conic gradients for color wheels, pie charts, and decorative elements
  • Build brand-compliant gradient palettes with exact hex color stops
  • Export radial gradients for spotlight effects and vignetted backgrounds

Pro Tips

  • Use 3+ color stops for smooth multi-color transitions that look more sophisticated than simple two-color gradients.
  • For radial gradients, circle creates uniform circular fades while ellipse stretches to fill the container — great for spotlight effects.
  • Save generated CSS in your design system as CSS custom properties so you can reuse gradients across your entire project.
  • Combine linear gradients with background layers using background-image stacking for complex visual effects.
