FAQ
What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?
A linear gradient transitions colors in a straight line at a chosen angle. A radial gradient transitions colors outward from a center point in a circle.
Can I add more than two color stops?
Yes. Press "Add color stop" to add as many colors as you need, each with its own position along the gradient - a minimum of two stops is required.
What does the angle control on a linear gradient?
0° points the gradient from bottom to top, and it rotates clockwise as the angle increases - 90° goes left to right, 180° goes top to bottom, matching the CSS linear-gradient() angle convention.
How do I use the generated CSS?
Copy the background declaration and paste it into your stylesheet on any element - no other setup is needed since it's standard CSS.
