About the CSS Gradient Generator
CSS gradients let you blend two or more colours smoothly across a background — a modern look used on buttons, hero sections and cards. Writing the CSS by hand means guessing at colours and angles; a visual generator lets you design the gradient by eye and copies the exact CSS for you.
Choose your colours and direction, preview the result live, and copy ready-to-use CSS. It all runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
