Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CSS gradient?

∨
A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors. Gradients can be linear (directional) or radial (circular from center), and are created entirely in CSS without any image files. They are widely used for backgrounds, buttons, and decorative elements on websites.

What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

∨
Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line in a specified direction (controlled by the angle). Radial gradients transition colors outward in a circular pattern from a center point, creating a ring-like effect.

How many color stops can I add?

∨
You can add up to 5 color stops. Each stop consists of a color and a position percentage. More stops allow for more complex and colorful gradient designs.

What does the angle control do?

∨
The angle control (0-360 degrees) determines the direction of the linear gradient. 0deg goes from bottom to top, 90deg goes from left to right, 180deg goes from top to bottom, and 270deg goes from right to left. Any angle in between creates diagonal gradients.

How do I use the generated CSS?

∨
Click the Copy CSS button to copy the gradient code to your clipboard. Then paste it into your CSS file or inline style. The code is a standard CSS background property that works in all modern browsers.

Can I use these gradients in production websites?

∨
Yes. CSS gradients are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The generated code uses the standard syntax that has been supported for over a decade.

Is my gradient data sent to any server?

∨
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. The gradient preview and CSS generation happen entirely on your device. No data is uploaded or shared.

What is a color stop position?

∨
A color stop position (0-100%) determines where the color appears in the gradient. 0% is at the start, 100% is at the end. By adjusting positions, you control how quickly or gradually colors transition into each other.

How do designers use this tool?

∨
Designers use it to quickly prototype gradient backgrounds for websites, create button gradients, design hero section backgrounds, generate social media graphics, and experiment with color combinations without writing CSS manually.

What's the best way to create a sunset gradient?

∨
Start with two stops: dark blue (#1a1a2e) at 0% and orange (#e94560) at 100%. Add a middle stop with orange-yellow (#f5a623) at 50%. Set the angle to 180deg for a top-to-bottom sunset effect.

Can I preview the gradient before copying?

∨
Yes, the large preview panel at the top shows the live gradient. It updates instantly as you adjust colors, positions, angle, or type. What you see is exactly what the CSS will produce.
