🌈 Gradient Generator
Build CSS linear gradients visually. Adjust colors and direction, then copy the CSS.
Why it is useful
It helps designers and developers create backgrounds, hero sections, cards, and visual accents without hand-writing gradient syntax.
How it works
The browser previews the gradient and generates the corresponding CSS declaration for copying.
Best input
Choose colors that fit your brand or palette, then adjust angle and stops visually.
Design tip
Check text contrast over gradients before using them behind readable content.
Privacy note
Gradient generation happens locally in your browser.
Important limitation
Gradient rendering can vary slightly across browsers, displays, and color profiles.
Quick answers
Can I use output in CSS?
Yes. Copy the generated CSS into your stylesheet.
Are gradients accessible?
Only if foreground text has enough contrast across the gradient.
Common Use Cases
Prototype a hero background
Tune two brand colors and an angle, then copy the CSS into a landing-page hero or callout section.
Match gradients across cards
Use the generated declaration as a repeatable base for feature cards, badges, or dashboard panels.
Check a text-overlay candidate
Create the gradient first, then test foreground color contrast before placing headings or buttons on top.
CSS Visual Studio workflow
Move between color conversion, palettes, gradients, contrast checks, shadows, radii, buttons, and glassmorphism while keeping generated CSS local to the browser.
