What are CSS Gradients?

CSS gradients are a powerful way to create smooth color transitions in web design. Unlike traditional background images, CSS gradients are lightweight, scalable, and fully customizable. They render smoothly at any resolution and can be animated for dynamic effects.

Types of CSS Gradients

• Linear Gradient: Colors blend in a straight line from one direction to another
• Radial Gradient: Colors blend from the center outward in a circular or elliptical pattern
• Conic Gradient: Colors blend around a center point like colors on a color wheel

Key Features

• Visual Preview: See gradient changes in real-time as you adjust colors
• Multiple Gradient Types: Create linear, radial, and conic gradients
• Custom Color Stops: Add unlimited color stops at custom positions
• Angle Control: Adjust direction for linear gradients with a slider
• Instant CSS Code: Copy-ready CSS for immediate use

How to Use the Gradient Generator

Select your gradient type (linear, radial, or conic), then adjust the color stops by clicking the color inputs. For linear gradients, use the angle slider to change the direction. The preview updates instantly as you make changes. Copy the generated CSS code and paste it directly into your stylesheets.
