About CSS Gradient Generator

Add and drag colour stops, set the angle, and switch between the three gradient types while watching the result, then copy CSS ready to paste into a stylesheet. Conic gradients in particular are far quicker to dial in by eye than by hand.

Create a CSS radial gradient with multiple colour stops and a live preview, then copy clean, unprefixed CSS. Everything renders in your browser.

This CSS gradient generator lets you design linear, radial and conic gradients visually and copy the exact CSS to paste into any project. Add as many colour stops as you like, pick each colour, drag its position along the track, and set the angle — the live preview updates as you go, so you can dial in the look before touching your stylesheet.

Gradients are one of the easiest ways to add depth to buttons, hero sections and backgrounds without images, which keeps pages fast. The output is plain CSS you can paste anywhere — no build step, no library, and nothing that has to stay in sync.

Frequently asked questions

How does a radial gradient differ from a linear one?

It radiates outward from a point rather than along an axis, so colours form rings. That makes it the right choice for spotlights, glows and soft vignettes, where a linear fade would look flat.

What do circle and ellipse do?

Circle keeps the gradient perfectly round regardless of the element's shape; ellipse stretches it to match the element's proportions. Ellipse is the default and usually looks more natural on a wide container.

Can I move the centre point?

Yes — the position controls where the gradient originates, and offsetting it is what makes an off-centre glow or a light source coming from one corner look convincing.

Common Use Cases

  • •Creating a spotlight or glow effect behind a hero element
  • •Building a soft vignette over an image
  • •Designing a subtle background without exporting a raster image
