🌈 CSS Gradient Generator
Create beautiful linear or radial CSS gradients in seconds — pick colors, adjust angle or shape, add as many color stops as you need, and copy the finished CSS code with one click. Completely free and runs entirely in your browser.
About
This tool lets you visually build CSS gradients without writing a single line of code. Choose between linear-gradient and radial-gradient, set the angle or shape, manage color stops with a color picker and position slider, and preview the result live in real time. Eight built-in presets (Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Neon, and more) give you a head start. Because every operation runs locally in your browser using pure JavaScript, no color data or design information ever leaves your device — there is no server, no account, and no tracking of any kind.
How to use
- Choose a gradient type — Linear or Radial — from the Gradient type dropdown.
- For linear gradients, set the angle (0–360°) using the slider or number input. For radial gradients, choose Ellipse or Circle as the shape.
- Click a color swatch in the Color Stops panel to open the color picker, then drag the position input to place each stop exactly where you want it.
- Click + Add Stop to insert a new color stop auto-placed at the largest gap, or click the ✕ button to remove any stop (minimum 2 stops required).
- Click Copy CSS to copy the finished background: linear-gradient(…) or radial-gradient(…) declaration to your clipboard and paste it straight into your stylesheet.
FAQ
- Is the CSS Gradient Generator free to use?
- Yes, completely free — no subscription, no account, and no hidden usage limits. Open the page and start building gradients immediately.
- Does this tool work offline without an internet connection?
- Yes. Once the page is loaded, the entire tool works offline with no external API calls, CDN dependencies, or server requests. It is safe to use on an airplane or in a network-restricted environment.
- Is my color data or design sent to a server?
- No. All gradient generation and preview rendering happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your color choices are saved only in your browser's localStorage and are never transmitted anywhere.
- What is the difference between linear-gradient and radial-gradient?
- A linear-gradient transitions colors along a straight line at a given angle (e.g. 135deg). A radial-gradient radiates colors outward from a center point in an ellipse or circle shape. Both output standard CSS that works in all modern browsers.
- How many color stops can I add?
- There is no built-in limit — you can add as many color stops as you need (minimum 2). New stops are automatically placed at the largest gap in the gradient and the interpolated color at that position is pre-filled for a smooth starting point.
