About CSS Gradients

CSS gradients create smooth transitions between two or more colors using pure CSS — no images needed. They reduce HTTP requests and file sizes compared to gradient images, improving page performance.

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line (top to bottom, left to right, or any angle). Radial gradients transition from a center point outward in a circular or elliptical pattern.

This visual editor lets you experiment with colors, angles, and gradient types in real-time. The generated CSS code is compatible with all modern browsers and can be directly pasted into your stylesheets.
