Frequently Asked Questions
Why We Built CSS Gradient Generator
CSS gradients are a powerful design tool, but writing them by hand is tedious. Remembering the syntax for different gradient types, calculating color stop positions, and visualizing the result requires constant back-and-forth between code and browser.
We built this tool to make gradient creation visual and intuitive. See your changes instantly, experiment with different types and angles, and copy production-ready CSS when you're happy with the result. The included presets give you a starting point for common gradient styles.
Unlike other gradient generators that add unnecessary vendor prefixes or outdated syntax, we output clean, modern CSS that works in all current browsers. The Tailwind output mode makes it easy to use gradients in Tailwind-based projects.
CSS Gradient Generator is part of RJL.io's collection of free developer tools - each designed to do one thing exceptionally well, with no accounts, no tracking, and no data collection. Check out our other tools: Color Palette, CSS Minifier, Code Screenshot, and more.
