What is a CSS gradient?
CSS gradients are smooth color transitions defined entirely in code — no image files required. They are resolution-independent, scale perfectly at any size, and are supported in every modern browser. A linear gradient transitions along a straight line at any angle. A radial gradient expands outward from a central point. A conic gradient sweeps around a central point like a color wheel.
Using CSS gradients instead of image files improves page load times significantly — a gradient defined in CSS costs roughly 50–200 bytes vs. an equivalent image which might be 10–100 KB.
Frequently asked questions
What gradient types does this tool support?
Linear (straight angle), radial (circular from center), and conic (sweeping rotation). You can add multiple color stops at custom positions for complex multi-color gradients.
Can I use the generated code directly in production?
Yes. The tool generates standard W3C CSS that works in all modern browsers. No vendor prefixes are needed for gradients in 2026.
How do I use a gradient as a full-page background?
Apply the CSS to the body element: body { background: <your-gradient>; min-height: 100vh; }
