CSS Gradient Generator Online — Free
Runs 100% in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Gradients live or die by small details: the exact angle, where each stop sits, whether linear or radial fits the space. This generator shows the rendered gradient live while you adjust stops and angle, then hands you the exact CSS to paste. No uploads, no frameworks — just standard CSS.
How it works
- 1
Pick your stops
Choose two to six colors with their positions along the gradient.
- 2
Set type and angle
Switch between linear, radial, and conic; drag the angle for linear and conic.
- 3
Copy the CSS
One click copies the finished gradient rule, ready to paste into any stylesheet.
About this tool
How the gradient is built
The tool interpolates between your start and end colors — in any format you paste — and produces the CSS for a linear gradient you configure: angle, color stops, and optional midpoints. The output is production-ready CSS you can paste into any stylesheet.
When to reach for it
Hero section backgrounds, button fills, subtle page washes, and data visualizations all lean on gradients. The tool also answers the design question "what does the midpoint of these two brand colors actually look like" before it reaches production.
Tips for the best result
Gradients between colors far apart on the hue wheel pass through a muddy middle — if the center looks dirty, add a third stop chosen with the blend tool to route the transition through a cleaner path. Small angles (5–15 degrees) read as subtle lighting; 90+ degrees read as deliberate bands.
Frequently asked questions
Which browsers support the generated CSS?
The standard linear-gradient syntax works in every browser released in the past decade. The tool emits the modern unprefixed form.
Can I add more than two colors?
Yes — add intermediate stops and position them along the gradient. Multi-stop gradients are how you avoid the muddy midpoint of distant hue pairs.
Why does my gradient look gray in the middle?
Interpolation travels through color space, and distant hues route through desaturated territory. Blend through a third color that sits between them on the wheel instead.
