What are CSS Gradients?

CSS gradients are a powerful feature that allows you to create smooth transitions between two or more specified colors. They are treated as images by the browser, meaning they can be used anywhere an image can be, like in backgrounds. They are great for creating modern, visually appealing designs without needing to load an image file.

Key Features of This Generator

• Multiple Gradient Types: Create standard `linear-gradient()`, `radial-gradient()`, or the more complex `conic-gradient()`.
• Full Color Control: Add, remove, and reorder multiple color stops. For each stop, you can use a color picker and adjust its opacity and position on the gradient line.
• Interactive UI: Adjust the gradient angle with a slider and see the preview update in real-time. You can also drag color stops directly on the preview bar to change their positions.
• Instant Code Output: The tool generates the exact CSS code you need, ready to be copied into your stylesheet. It also provides a conceptual Tailwind CSS class for easy integration into Tailwind projects.
• Presets & Randomization: Don't know where to start? Use the "Randomize" button to discover new combinations.

Why Use a Gradient Generator?

Writing complex gradient code by hand can be tedious and time-consuming. A visual generator makes the process fast, intuitive, and fun. It allows for rapid experimentation, helping you achieve the perfect look for your website's backgrounds, buttons, and other UI elements.
