About CSS Gradient
CSS Gradient is a free online tool for creating linear and radial gradients for web backgrounds. It also offers colour swatches and gradient examples for inspiration.
What it does
You choose colours with a picker, set the gradient stops and direction, and the tool writes the CSS for you. The site also has a gallery of ready-made gradients and shade pages for popular colours. It is part of the Designstripe project and includes articles about how gradients are used in real designs.
Key features
- Linear and radial gradient modes
- Colour picker with hex and RGB values
- Adjustable colour stops along the gradient
- Copy-ready CSS code for the background
Who it's for
Front-end developers who need a background quickly, designers putting gradients on websites, and bloggers who want a header effect without writing code. Beginners can also learn how gradient CSS works, since the output is shown next to the controls.
Pricing and good to know
The generator is free to use, and the swatch collection is free to use in your own projects. The code it produces is plain CSS that works in modern browsers. Gradients are easy to overuse, so check that any text placed on top of them stays easy to read.
