Guide
How to use the CSS gradient generator
Use this CSS gradient generator to design linear, radial, and conic gradients for websites, landing pages, buttons, cards, banners, and UI backgrounds. The preview updates instantly and the generated CSS can be copied directly into your stylesheet.
- 1
Choose a gradient type
Select linear, radial, or conic depending on the visual effect you want for your CSS background.
- 2
Adjust angle or shape
Use the angle control for linear and conic gradients, or choose circle and ellipse shapes for radial gradients.
- 3
Edit color stops
Pick colors, move each stop position, and add or remove stops to control how colors blend across the gradient.
- 4
Copy the CSS
Copy the generated background CSS or Tailwind arbitrary class and paste it into your stylesheet, component, or design prototype.
Common CSS gradient mistakes
- Forgetting to include stop percentages, which can make color transitions harder to control.
- Using too many saturated colors and creating harsh bands instead of a smooth UI background.
- Copying only the gradient value without the background property when a full CSS declaration is needed.
- Using a gradient behind text without checking contrast and readability.
- Mixing linear, radial, and conic syntax when moving gradients between CSS examples.
