## How to Use the Hex to CSS Gradient Converter 1. **Paste Hex Colors**: Enter your hex color list (2-15 colors) in the textarea 2. **Choose Direction**: Select gradient direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) 3. **Set Distribution**: Pick how colors are spaced (even, weighted, fibonacci) 4. **Select Pattern**: Choose single gradient, repeating, mirror, or segments 5. **Set Output**: Pick CSS optimization level (readable, compact, variables) 6. **Convert**: Click "Convert to Gradient" to generate CSS code 7. **Copy & Use**: Copy the generated CSS for your web projects **Input Formats Supported:** - Line-separated: `#FF6B6B` (one per line) - Comma-separated: `#FF6B6B, #4ECDC4, #45B7D1` - Space-separated: `#FF6B6B #4ECDC4 #45B7D1` - Mixed formats in the same input **Pro Tips:** - Use 3-8 colors for best visual results - Enable auto-optimization for better color flow - Try pattern variations for creative effects - Use CSS variables output for dynamic themes

How It Works

## How the Hex to CSS Gradient Converter Works Our converter specializes in transforming lists of hex color codes into production-ready CSS gradients with advanced positioning and optimization: **1. Hex Color Parsing** - Accepts multiple input formats (line, comma, space separated) - Validates hex color format (#RRGGBB or #RGB) - Supports 2-15 colors per gradient - Auto-detects and cleans input formatting **2. Smart Color Distribution** - Even spacing: Equal distances between all colors - Weighted: More colors concentrated at start/end/center - Fibonacci: Natural mathematical progression - Custom patterns for complex multi-color gradients **3. Pattern Generation** - Single: Traditional linear gradient - Repeating: CSS repeating-linear-gradient patterns - Mirror: Colors reflect back for symmetrical effects - Segments: Distinct color bands with sharp transitions **4. CSS Optimization** - Readable: Formatted with comments and proper spacing - Compact: Minified for production use - Variables: CSS custom properties for dynamic control - Prefixed: Legacy browser compatibility The tool is specifically designed for designers and developers who work with brand color palettes, design systems, or complex multi-color schemes that need to be converted to CSS gradients quickly and accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What input formats does the hex converter accept?

The converter accepts multiple input formats: line-separated (#FF6B6B on each line), comma-separated (#FF6B6B, #4ECDC4), space-separated (#FF6B6B #4ECDC4), or mixed formats. Both 6-digit (#RRGGBB) and 3-digit (#RGB) hex codes are supported. The tool auto-detects and cleans your input format.

How many hex colors can I convert into a single gradient?

You can convert between 2 and 15 hex colors into a single CSS gradient. For optimal visual results, 3-8 colors work best. More colors create complex multi-stop gradients perfect for brand palettes or design system color schemes. The tool automatically calculates optimal positioning for all colors.

What's the difference between pattern generation modes?

Single creates one continuous gradient, Repeating generates CSS repeating-linear-gradient patterns that tile, Mirror reflects colors back for symmetrical effects, and Segments creates distinct color bands with sharp transitions. Each mode serves different design purposes and visual effects.

How do I use the generated CSS in my projects?

Copy the generated CSS and apply it using the background property: `.element { background: linear-gradient(...); }`. For CSS Variables output, define the variables in :root and reference them. For framework integration, use the prefixed output for maximum browser compatibility.

Can I optimize the CSS output for different use cases?

Yes! Choose 'Readable' for development (formatted with comments), 'Compact' for production (minified), 'Variables' for dynamic themes (CSS custom properties), or 'Prefixed' for legacy browser support. Each optimization targets specific development workflows and deployment needs.
