What is Gradient to CSS?

A visual gradient builder that lets you design linear, radial, and conic gradients with multiple color stops, then copy the CSS code. Adjust angles, positions, and colors with a live preview.

Build linear, radial, or conic gradients by dragging stops on a live bar and watching the preview redraw in real time. Paste an existing CSS gradient to edit it in place, pick from a preset library (Sunset, Aurora, Rainbow), tweak angle, then copy the syntax. The output is plain CSS — no vendor prefixes, no JavaScript runtime.

How to use

1. Choose a gradient type (linear, radial, or conic) and set the direction or angle.
2. Add, remove, or adjust color stops by clicking the gradient bar or using the color pickers.
3. Copy the generated CSS code to use directly in your stylesheet.

When to use

• Designing a hero section background where you need precise control over color stops and angle.
• Updating an existing gradient in a stylesheet — paste, edit visually, copy back.
• Generating a conic gradient for pie-chart-style segment backgrounds or rainbow loaders.

Result

Try a sunset gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff6b35 0%, #f72585 50%, #7209b7 100%) — great for a hero section background.

FAQ

What's the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?

Linear runs colors along a straight angle. Radial fans out from a centre point in concentric rings. Conic sweeps colors around a centre point like a pie chart. All three accept the same color-stop syntax.

How do I import an existing gradient from my CSS?

Paste the full declaration into the Import field — for example background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff6b35, #f72585); — and hit Import. The visual editor will populate with the parsed angle, stops, and type.

Why does my gradient look banded on some screens?

Banding happens when nearby color stops are far apart in hue and the display has only 8-bit color depth. Add an intermediate stop, or use a smaller angular range. Browsers with HDR rendering show much less banding.

Can I use this output as a background-image?

Yes. The copied string works as a value for background, background-image, or anywhere CSS accepts an image — borders with border-image, masks, and even SVG fill in modern browsers.

Does the generator add vendor prefixes like -webkit-?

No. Linear, radial, and conic gradients have been unprefixed in every evergreen browser since 2017. Prefixing today only adds noise to your stylesheet, so the output stays clean.
