How It Works

The Science Behind CSS Gradients:

CSS gradients create smooth transitions between multiple colors. Here's how they work:

Linear gradients: Colors transition along a straight line at a specified angle
Radial gradients: Colors transition from a center point outward in circular or elliptical patterns
Conic gradients: Colors rotate around a center point like a color wheel
Color interpolation: Browser calculates intermediate colors between your specified stops

Example: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff6b6b 0%, #4ecdc4 100%)

45deg = diagonal angle from bottom-left to top-right
#ff6b6b = coral red starting color at 0%
#4ecdc4 = turquoise ending color at 100%
Browser smoothly blends between these colors

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of gradients can I create with this tool?

Our generator supports all modern CSS gradient types: linear gradients (directional), radial gradients (circular/elliptical), and conic gradients (angular). You can customize colors, direction, shape, position, and color stops for each type.

How do I use the generated CSS code in my website?

Simply copy the generated CSS and apply it to any element using the background property. For example: 'background: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff6b6b, #4ecdc4);'. The code is production-ready and works across all modern browsers.

Can I create gradients with more than two colors?

Yes! Our tool supports unlimited colors in your gradients. Add multiple color stops to create complex, multi-color gradients with precise control over where each color appears in the transition.
