Frequently asked questions
What does this CSS gradient generator online do?
This tool generates linear-gradient CSS for element backgrounds and containers. Set an angle (0-360deg), choose from/to colors and an optional mid stop, preview live, and copy the output. All processing runs locally in your browser with no upload or account required.
How do I use the angle control in the CSS gradient generator?
Angle controls gradient direction from 0 to 360 degrees. 0deg flows top-to-bottom, 90deg flows left-to-right, 135deg flows diagonally. Adjust the angle slider to preview the direction before copying.
Can I input different color formats like HEX, rgb, or hsl?
Yes. The tool accepts HEX (e.g., #ff0000), rgb (e.g., rgb(255, 0, 0)), and hsl (e.g., hsl(0, 100%, 50%)) for all color stops. Output normalizes all formats to standard CSS syntax.
Is this CSS gradient generator the same as gradient text generator?
No. This tool generates linear-gradient CSS for element backgrounds only. Gradient text applies color to text characters using background-clip: text. To apply this tool's output to text, add background-clip: text and -webkit-background-clip: text to your CSS rule.
