How to Use This Tool

Choose a gradient type (linear, radial, or conic), adjust the angle, and set your colour stops. Each stop has a colour picker, hex input, and position slider. Click "Add Stop" for more colours, or "Random" for inspiration. The CSS updates in real time — copy it straight into your stylesheet.

Using Gradients on Your Website

Gradients add depth and visual interest without the weight of image files. Use them on hero sections for dramatic impact, on buttons for a polished feel, or as subtle background textures. A well-chosen gradient can make a simple layout feel premium.

For best results, keep gradients subtle on content-heavy sections (use low-contrast colours) and bolder on hero sections or CTAs where you want to draw attention.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CSS gradient?

A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colours, rendered by the browser without needing an image file. This makes gradients fast-loading and resolution-independent. CSS supports linear gradients (straight line), radial gradients (from a centre point), and conic gradients (around a centre point).

How do I use a CSS gradient on my website?

Copy the generated CSS code and apply it as a background property to any HTML element. For example: .hero { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #F37021 0%, #1a1a2e 100%); }. Gradients can be used on sections, buttons, cards, or any element that accepts a background.

How many colour stops can I use?

This tool supports up to 6 colour stops. In practice, most effective gradients use 2-3 stops. More stops create more complex transitions but can look busy if overused. Start simple and add stops only when needed.
