Beautiful CSS Gradient Generator

Create stunning linear and radial gradients for your website backgrounds, buttons, and text.

Forget manually typing hex codes. Use our visual editor to mix colors, adjust angles, and generate production-ready CSS or Tailwind classes instantly.

Linear vs. Radial

Linear Gradients flow in a single direction (e.g., 45deg). Perfect for headers and buttons.
Radial Gradients radiate from a center point. Great for creating spotlights or glow effects.

Tailwind JIT Support

We generate arbitrary value classes like bg-[linear-gradient(...)] so you can use custom gradients without configuring your tailwind.config.js file.

Performance Tip

CSS gradients are lighter than images, but complex gradients can still impact rendering performance. Avoid animating the gradient property itself; instead, animate background-position on a larger background size.

Gradient FAQs

Why do my colors look muddy?

This happens when you transition between complementary colors (like Red to Green) directly. They mix to create gray in the middle. To fix this, add a third "middle" stop color that bridges the gap (e.g., Red → Yellow → Green).

Can I use transparency?

Yes! CSS gradients support RGBA colors. You can fade from a solid color to transparent to create overlay effects for hero images.
