About CSS Gradient

CSS Gradient lets you build linear or radial gradients by adding color stops, picking colors in HEX or RGBA and setting the angle. It writes the CSS for you, including a fallback background color for older browsers, and copies it to the clipboard.

The site also has pages of color shades, swatches, example gradients and technical articles about gradients. It suits anyone who needs a gradient background for a website, blog or social profile without writing the CSS by hand.

Strengths

  • Linear and radial gradients with multiple color stops
  • Generates CSS with a compatibility fallback
  • Library of shades, swatches and example gradients

Limitations

  • Limited to standard CSS gradient types
  • Much of the site is articles and content around the tool

  • Grabient

    A web editor for building CSS linear gradients and copying the resulting code.
