CSS Gradient

Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as CSS Gradient.
Grabient
A web editor for building CSS linear gradients and copying the resulting code.
Grabient offers visual editing of CSS gradients with ready-to-copy code, but it handles linear gradients only, so radial gradients and the example library are lost.
WebGradients
A free collection of 180 ready-made CSS gradients with a generator for building your own.
WebGradients provides 180 ready-made CSS gradients plus a custom generator and packs for Sketch, Photoshop and Figma, though the presets are simple two-color linear blends.
Mesher
A free web tool from CSS Hero that creates mesh gradient backgrounds using only CSS.
Mesher outputs pure CSS mesh gradient backgrounds instead of standard linear and radial gradients, with random color generation but little documentation.
uiGradients
A community-contributed web collection of color gradients, each with CSS you can copy.
uiGradients is a community-contributed gallery of fixed gradients with copyable CSS, so it replaces browsing examples but offers no gradient editor.
