🎯 What are CSS Gradients?

CSS gradients create smooth transitions between two or more colors. They're rendered by the browser and can be used anywhere an image can be used, but with smaller file sizes and infinite scalability.

Linear Gradients: Colors transition in a straight line (top to bottom, left to right, or any angle).

Radial Gradients: Colors radiate from a center point outward in a circular or elliptical pattern.

❓ FAQ

How do I use CSS gradients?

Copy the generated CSS code and paste it into your stylesheet. Use it with background or background-image properties. Example: background: linear-gradient(to right, #ff0000, #0000ff);

What's the difference between linear and radial?

Linear gradients transition colors in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). Radial gradients radiate from a center point outward in a circular pattern.

Are CSS gradients supported in all browsers?

Yes! CSS gradients are supported in all modern browsers. For older browsers, you may need vendor prefixes (-webkit-, -moz-), which our tool includes automatically.

Can I add more than two colors?

Yes! You can add unlimited color stops to create complex multi-color gradients. Each color stop can be positioned at any percentage along the gradient.
