CSS Gradient Generator
Hand-coding gradient syntax is tedious and error-prone. CSS Gradient Generator lets you visually build linear, radial, or conic gradients and copy clean CSS code instantly.
How It Works
Get Your Result in 4 Simple Steps
Get a clean, usable result in just a few clicks — fast, easy, and completely free.
1
Choose a Gradient Mode
Select Linear, Radial, or Conic depending on the effect you want — a straight color transition, one that radiates from a center point, or one that sweeps around like a color wheel.
2
Add and Customize Color Stops
Pick colors using hex or RGB values, add extra stop handles for multi-color gradients, and drag each stop's position slider to control exactly where one color blends into the next.
3
Adjust the Angle or Direction
Use the angle presets or type a custom degree value to rotate a linear or conic gradient, watching the live preview update as you go. Radial gradients always radiate outward from the center, so there's no angle to set for those.
4
Copy or Download the CSS
Once the preview looks right, copy the generated CSS snippet straight into your stylesheet, or export the gradient itself as a PNG or WEBP image.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about this tool.
A linear gradient transitions color along a straight line or angle, a radial gradient radiates outward from a center point like a circle, and a conic gradient sweeps color around a center point in a rotational pattern, similar to a color wheel.
Yes — you can add as many color stops as you need along the slider bar, each with its own color and position, to build complex multi-color gradient combinations for banners, buttons, or full-page backgrounds.
Yes — the output uses standard CSS3 gradient syntax, so it drops straight into plain CSS, HTML, React, Vue, or WordPress theme stylesheets without any modification.
Yes — alongside copying the CSS code, you can export the gradient as a PNG or WEBP image in preset sizes suited to banners, social posts, or full-HD backgrounds.
No — everything is rendered and generated locally in your browser, so your color choices and gradient settings are never uploaded or stored, even if you're working on an unreleased brand design.
Yes, it's completely free with no signup, watermark, or export limit, for as many gradients as you want to design, whether it's for a single button or a full site redesign.
Yes — you can fine-tune the angle using ready-made direction presets (0°, 45°, 90°, and more) or type in a custom degree value, for linear and conic gradients, where direction matters most, with the live preview updating instantly as you adjust it.
Both — you get 51 hand-picked linear and radial gradient presets to load with one click, and once you've gone through those, the gallery keeps generating brand-new ones on demand (fresh color combinations every time, with no fixed limit), or you can build a fully custom gradient by picking colors, adjusting color stop positions, and setting the rotation angle yourself.
Yes — beyond copying the CSS code, you can export your gradient as a PNG or WEBP image in common preset sizes (Instagram square, story, social banner, Full HD, and custom dimensions), which is handy for backgrounds, thumbnails, and social posts.
Yes — use Copy URL from the download menu to copy a link that has your exact gradient (colors, stop positions, angle, and type) built into it. Anyone who opens that link sees the same gradient loaded automatically, ready to tweak or copy the CSS from, so you don't have to re-describe your color choices to a teammate or friend.
