CSS Gradient Generator
Build CSS gradients visually. Linear, radial, and conic types with multi-stop colors and angle control. Copy CSS or Tailwind values. Free, no signup.
What is CSS Gradient Generator?
Build linear, radial, and conic CSS gradients with a live preview, draggable colour stops, and angle controls. Add as many stops as you want, fine-tune positions on the slider, and watch the gradient update instantly without a single page refresh. Three outputs are ready to copy: the raw CSS value, a full background rule, and a Tailwind arbitrary class for v3 and v4 projects. Useful for hero sections, button fills, badge surfaces, and brand iteration without bouncing between Figma and a sandbox file.

FAQ
CSS Gradient Generator — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
What's the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?
Linear gradients transition along a straight line at a chosen angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point. Conic gradients sweep around a center point like a clock face - perfect for pie-chart effects.
Are conic gradients supported in all browsers?
Yes - conic-gradient() is supported in every evergreen browser (Chrome 69+, Edge 79+, Safari 12.1+, Firefox 83+). For very old browsers, fall back to a linear gradient.
Can I copy the result as Tailwind?
Yes. The 'Tailwind arbitrary' output gives you a class like bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,#3b82f6_0%,#06b6d4_100%)] you can paste into any Tailwind project (v3 or v4).
How many color stops can I add?
As many as you want - the generator supports unlimited stops with individual position controls. For practical use, 2-4 stops is usually best for crisp, fast-rendering gradients.
