Overview
This tool turns color choices into usable CSS gradients without manual trial and error. Switch between linear and radial modes, adjust the angle or focal point, and see each change reflected in the preview immediately. Use it when you need a background that feels intentional: landing-page sections, buttons, cards, overlays, badges, and subtle interface highlights. The output is clean CSS that you can paste into a stylesheet, component, or design token workflow.

FAQ
Can I control where the gradient starts and ends?
Yes. Linear gradients use an angle, while radial gradients let you place the center point and shape the highlight area.
Why does the preview look different from my browser?
Rendering can shift slightly depending on the element size, background color, and the browser’s handling of the gradient shape.
How many color stops should I use?
Two stops work well for simple sections, while three or more stops create richer transitions. Too many stops can make the result look busy.
Can I use the output in plain CSS and component styles?
Yes. The generated declaration can be pasted into a stylesheet, inline style block, or component style definition.
