Frequently Asked Questions

Q How do I create a CSS gradient?
A Pick two colors, choose linear or radial type, set the angle, and copy the generated CSS code.
Q Can I use preset gradients?
A Yes, click any of the 12 preset gradient swatches to start with a beautiful combination.
Q Is this free?
A Yes.
Q How do I create CSS gradients that precisely match my brand's hex color codes?
A To ensure your CSS gradients align perfectly with your brand's visual identity, use the custom color input fields. Simply paste your specific brand hex codes (e.g., #RRGGBB) into the color selectors. This allows you to generate gradients featuring your exact brand colors, maintaining consistency across all your web elements. Adjust the angle and add more color stops if needed to achieve the desired effect.
Q How do I create a CSS gradient with more than two colors or color stops using this generator?
A To design a multi-color CSS gradient, simply click the "Add Color" button or a similar indicator usually found between or next to the existing color selectors. This will introduce an additional color stop. You can then select a new custom hex color for this stop and adjust its position along the gradient bar to achieve a smooth or abrupt transition with your desired blend of multiple colors.
Q What's the difference between linear and radial gradients generated here?
A Linear gradients flow in a straight line, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. You control the direction with the angle slider, like setting it to 90 degrees for a vertical fade. Radial gradients expand outwards from a central point, creating a circular or elliptical effect. You can't directly control the shape beyond circular with this tool, but you can choose where the center is.
Q Does the gradient code work in all browsers?
A The tool generates standard CSS syntax that works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Internet Explorer 9 and below won't display gradients, but that's less than 1% of global traffic today. For older browsers, add a solid background-color fallback in your CSS before the gradient property. That way users see a flat color if gradients aren't supported. Quick test: copy your code into any modern browser's developer tools to verify.
