CSS Gradient Generator
Build linear and radial CSS gradients with a live preview.
CSS Gradient Generator
The CSS gradient generator lets you build linear and radial gradients with a live preview and copy the code in seconds. Add as many color stops as you need, position them along the gradient, set the angle or direction, and watch the preview update in real time. When it looks right, copy a ready-to-use background declaration into your stylesheet — no manual gradient syntax required.
How it works
The generator runs entirely in your browser. Each change you make to a color stop, angle, or gradient type is applied to a live preview element and reflected immediately in the generated CSS, so the code you copy matches exactly what you see. Nothing is sent to a server, which means it responds instantly, works offline once loaded, and behaves the same on desktop and mobile.
How to use it
- Choose a linear or radial gradient type.
- Add color stops and position each color along the gradient.
- Set the angle or direction for a linear gradient.
- Copy the generated CSS into your stylesheet.
