Build a gradient visually, copy the CSS

A gradient is described by a type, an angle and a list of colours with positions. Typing that by hand and reloading the page to check the look is slow. This tool puts each part in a control, updates a large preview as you work and produces a background declaration you can paste into your stylesheet.

Making a gradient

In Gradient Configuration, choose Type: Linear or Radial.
For a linear gradient, drag the Angle slider from 0 to 360 degrees. The current value shows beside the label. The angle control disappears when Radial is selected.
Under Color Stops & Positioning, pick a colour with each swatch and slide its position from 0 to 100 percent. Two stops exist at first.
Press Add New Stop for more colours. A trash icon appears once you have more than two, so you can remove any of them.
Prefer a shortcut? Click one of the seven swatches in Trending Presets to load a two-colour combination.
Click Generate Optimized CSS to reveal the Visual Preview panel with the code, then use Copy CSS.

What the result looks like

The output is one line such as background: linear-gradient(90deg, colour 0%, colour 100%). Stops are sorted by position before writing, so you can add them in any order. Radial mode produces a circular gradient that radiates from the centre, using the same stop list.

When it is useful

Hero banners and section backgrounds that need more depth than a flat colour.
Button and badge fills, including hover states with a shifted angle.
Mock-ups where you want to test brand colour combinations quickly.
Learning how stop positions bunch colours together or spread them out.

Notes for accurate results

Colours are chosen with the browser's own picker and written as hex values, so there is no opacity control per stop. If you need a transparent stop, replace the hex with an rgba value in the copied code. Radial gradients are always circles centred in the element, with no options for ellipse, size or position. The presets load only their two colours, so your angle setting still governs the generated angle.

Two stops at the same position create a hard edge instead of a blend, which is a handy way to make stripes. Because the preview updates live, you can see the result before pressing the button, and the button reveals the code panel. Everything runs in your browser as JavaScript, so experiment freely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many colour stops can I use?

You start with two and can press Add New Stop as often as you like. Each stop has its own colour and a 0 to 100 percent position. Delete buttons appear whenever more than two stops exist.

Can I make a stripe or hard edge?

Yes. Put two stops at the same position with different colours, and the browser switches sharply between them instead of blending. Repeat this with more stops to create several distinct bands or stripes.

Why is the angle slider missing?

Angles only apply to linear gradients. When you choose Radial, the slider is hidden and the tool outputs a circle gradient that spreads outward from the centre of the element.

Can I set transparency on a stop?

Not in the tool itself, since the colour pickers return solid hex values. After copying the CSS, replace any hex value with an rgba colour to make that particular stop translucent.

Do the presets change the angle?

No. A preset loads only its two colours, positioned at 0 and 100 percent. Your chosen type and angle stay as they were, so you can preset a colour pair and then rotate it.
