CSS Gradient Generator

What is a CSS Gradient?

A CSS gradient is a special type of background in CSS that allows you to smoothly transition between two or more colors. Instead of using image files, gradients are generated directly by the browser using CSS functions like linear-gradient().

Gradients are commonly used in modern web design for backgrounds, buttons, banners, cards, and UI elements because they load faster, scale perfectly, and look visually appealing.

How to Use This CSS Gradient Generator

• Select colors using the color picker or HEX input.
• Add multiple color stops to create complex gradients.

CSS Gradient Examples

CSS gradients can be used in many real-world scenarios such as hero sections, call-to-action buttons, backgrounds, and cards. Below is an example of a simple linear gradient in CSS:

background: linear-gradient(90deg, #ff0000 0%, #0000ff 100%);

Using CSS Gradients with Tailwind CSS
