How It Works

CSS gradients are images created with the gradient() function that show smooth transitions between colors. Linear gradients use the syntax: linear-gradient(direction, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...). Direction can be an angle (0-360deg) or keywords (to bottom, to right, etc.). Color stops define where each color appears along the gradient line, using percentages or pixel values. Radial gradients use: radial-gradient(shape at position, color-stops) where shape can be circle or ellipse. You can create complex effects by adding multiple color stops with different positions.

  3. 3Set the direction angle for linear gradients (or select preset directions)
  4. 4Adjust color positions using percentage sliders
  5. 5Preview the gradient in real-time
  6. 6Copy the generated CSS code and paste into your stylesheet
