About this tool
A CSS gradient maker lets you design smooth color transitions visually instead of guessing at syntax. Frontend developers use it to craft hero backgrounds and buttons, designers use it to prototype color blends, and anyone learning CSS can use it to see exactly how gradient values work. Pick your colors, watch the live preview, and copy production-ready CSS in a single click.
Choose between a linear gradient — a straight color sweep you can rotate to any angle from 0 to 360 degrees — or a radial gradient that radiates outward from the center. Add two or more color stops, set each color with the picker or a hex code, and slide each stop's position from 0% to 100% to control where the colors meet. The preview box updates the instant you change anything.
Everything runs locally in your browser — no accounts, no uploads, no tracking. When you are happy with the result, the CSS output box shows the full background declaration, ready to paste straight into your stylesheet or a CSS-in-JS style object. Add or remove stops at any time to go from a simple two-color blend to a richer multi-stop gradient.
Examples
Input
Linear, 90deg, #955f3b 0% → #2d6cdf 100%
Output
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #955f3b 0%, #2d6cdf 100%);
Input
Radial, #955f3b 0% → #2d6cdf 100%
Output
background: radial-gradient(circle, #955f3b 0%, #2d6cdf 100%);
Radial gradients ignore the angle and blend outward from the center.
Input
Linear, 45deg, three stops
Output
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #955f3b 0%, #1f9d55 50%, #2d6cdf 100%);

Frequently asked questions
Is this CSS gradient generator free?+
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermarks.
What is the difference between a linear and radial gradient?+
A linear gradient blends colors along a straight line you can rotate with the angle control. A radial gradient blends colors outward in a circle from the center.
How many color stops can I add?+
You can use anywhere from two up to six color stops. Each stop has its own color and a position from 0% to 100% so you control exactly where colors meet.
Will the generated CSS work in all browsers?+
Yes. Standard linear-gradient and radial-gradient syntax is supported in all modern browsers. The output is a plain CSS background value you can paste directly.
Does my data leave my browser?+
No. All gradient building happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored.
