About Mesher

Mesher builds mesh gradients, the soft multi-color blends often used as website backgrounds, and outputs them as plain CSS code. You can use your own colors or start from randomly generated ones and adjust the result until it fits.

Because the output is CSS rather than an image, the gradient can be pasted straight into a stylesheet without extra files. It suits web designers and developers who want a modern background without opening an image editor.

Strengths

  • Outputs pure CSS, no image files needed
  • Random color generation for quick ideas
  • Works with your own color choices

Limitations

  • Limited to mesh gradient backgrounds
  • Little documentation on the tool's options
