How to Use CSS Gradient Generator

1

Choose Gradient Type & Direction

Select between Linear, Radial, or Conic gradient modes, and adjust the angle slider (0° to 360°) or click a cardinal directional preset.

2

Customize Colors & Add Stops

Click on the color stop track to add or reposition colors, select colors with the built-in color picker, and adjust alpha transparency.

3

Copy Clean CSS or Tailwind Code

Instantly copy the generated standard CSS, cross-browser fallback block, or Tailwind CSS utility class into your web project.

Worked example: Violet Linear Blend

The engine sorts and clamps stops, normalizes the angle, serializes the gradient function string, and emits fallback and prefixed exports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?
A linear gradient transitions colors smoothly along a straight axis at a specified angle. A radial gradient originates from a single center point and radiates outward in a circle or ellipse. A conic gradient sweeps colors around a central point in a rotational 360-degree arc, similar to a color wheel.
Can I export these gradients for Tailwind CSS?
Yes. The generator automatically provides Tailwind CSS arbitrary value syntax (such as bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,...)]), allowing you to paste your custom multi-stop gradient directly into your HTML and JSX templates.
Does the generated CSS support transparent colors?
Yes. Full alpha transparency is supported via RGBA color values, allowing you to create subtle frosted glass overlays and translucent background gradients.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes. The generator is 100% free and runs completely in your web browser. No design assets, color palettes, or code snippets are uploaded to external servers.
