About Gradient Generator

Hand-rolling gradient CSS means counting commas, guessing angles, and reloading the page on every tweak. This tool gives you live preview, drag-friendly inputs, and copy-paste output.

Linear gradients are the daily-driver. Radial and conic have specific use cases — spotlight effects, pie-chart-style backgrounds, hero illustrations. All three render natively in every modern browser, no library needed.

Frequently asked

  • Does it support more than two colors?

    Yes. Add up to six color stops, each with its own hex value and position percent.

  • Can I copy a Tailwind class?

    Linear gradients export a Tailwind arbitrary-value class with from/to colors. Radial and conic don't have a native Tailwind utility — use the raw CSS instead.

  • Where are presets from?

    Six hand-picked starting points: Sunset, Aurora, Citrus, Ocean, Mint, Mono. Tweak any of them by editing the stops.

  • Is this private?

    Yes. Everything renders in your browser via standard CSS. No values are sent to a server.
