CSS Gradient Generator Free - Linear & Radial

About this tool

CSS gradient syntax - especially with multiple color stops and degree values - is non-obvious to write correctly from memory. A visual builder lets you design the gradient you want and get working code in seconds rather than iterating manually.

Build linear and radial CSS gradients visually - pick colors, set direction, add color stops, and copy the ready-to-paste background-image CSS property. No memorizing gradient syntax.

How to use CSS Gradient Generator

1. Step 1: Choose Colors. Pick colors for each stop using the color picker.
2. Step 2: Set Position & Angle. Adjust stop positions and gradient angle or direction.
3. Step 3: Live Preview. See the gradient update in real time as you make changes.
4. Step 4: Copy CSS. Click copy to get the ready-to-use CSS background code.

Where this tool helps

Generate gradient backgrounds for landing page hero sections, create button hover gradients for UI components, build gradient progress bar fills, design gradient text effects in CSS, create subtle background gradients for cards and modals, and generate gradient overlays for images.

• Supports linear (directional) and radial (center-outward) gradient types.
• Add multiple color stops with drag-and-drop positioning - preview updates live.
• Copies the complete CSS background-image property, browser-prefixed where needed.

The most common question is about adding a gradient overlay to an image. CSS can stack a gradient on top of an image using multiple background values: background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.4), rgba(0,0,0,0.4)), url('image.jpg');
