Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSS gradient?
A CSS gradient is a smooth color transition rendered by the browser as a background image. Unlike image files, gradients are resolution-independent, lightweight, and fully customizable through CSS code.
What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?
Linear gradients transition along a straight line — from one side to another or at an angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point, creating circular or elliptical patterns. Both support multiple color stops.
Can I add more than two color stops?
Absolutely! Click the "Add Color Stop" button to add as many color stops as you need. Each stop includes a color picker and a position slider. You can also remove any stop except the first two.
How do I use the generated CSS?
Click "Copy CSS" to copy the gradient code, then paste it into your CSS file as a
background property. For example: .my-element { background: linear-gradient(...); }Related Tools
