Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CSS linear-gradient syntax?
A linear-gradient is defined using direction (angle in degrees or keywords like to bottom) and color stops with position percentages.
What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?
Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line. Radial gradients transition colors outward from a central point.
How do I design a multi-color gradient?
The tool generates background properties with multiple color stops (e.g. color A at 0%, color B at 50%, color C at 100%), creating smooth blends.
How do I specify a gradient angle?
Use the angle slider (0 to 360 degrees). For example, 90deg is left-to-right, and 180deg is top-to-bottom.
Are CSS3 gradients supported in older browsers?
Yes, modern browsers support gradients natively. The generator outputs standard properties compatible with modern layout engines.
Can I copy the gradient code directly?
Yes, click the copy button to copy the background style rule directly to your clipboard.
Is the gradient generator free for commercial sites?
Yes, it is 100% free with no license requirements.
Does this tool support radial gradient shape positioning?
It generates circular radial gradients centered on the element, suitable for most container styles.
Can I use gradient codes in inline styling?
Yes, paste the generated style block (e.g. style="background: linear-gradient(...);") directly onto your HTML tags.
Is my gradient design secure?
Yes, the color stops are calculated locally. No data is stored or logged.
