Pick your colors

Choose two or more colors using the color pickers. Click anywhere on the gradient bar to add color stops. Drag stops to adjust their position along the gradient.

Choose gradient type

Select linear (directional), radial (circular), or conic (angular) gradient. For linear gradients, set the angle (0-360°) or use presets like "to right" or "to bottom".

3

Fine-tune the gradient

Adjust color stop positions, add mid-point stops for smoother transitions, or enable repeating gradients for pattern effects. The live preview updates instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do CSS gradients need vendor prefixes?
Not anymore. CSS gradients have 98%+ browser support unprefixed. Only add -webkit- if you need to support very old Safari versions (pre-2015).
Linear vs radial vs conic — when to use each?
Linear gradients for backgrounds and headers (most common). Radial gradients for spotlight effects and buttons. Conic gradients for pie charts, color wheels, and loading spinners.
Can I use more than two colors?
Yes. CSS gradients support unlimited color stops. Use 3-5 colors for rich gradients. Specify stop positions as percentages for precise control over color transitions.
