CSS Gradient Generator Online

Build a two-color background for a banner, card or page section without manually assembling gradient syntax. Choose the start and end colors, select a linear or radial gradient and generate the result. A preview appears alongside a CSS declaration you can copy into your stylesheet.

Generate a gradient background

Choose your two colors and select Generate. Linear mode uses the selected angle, while radial mode expands outward from the center of a circle. The first color sits at the 0 percent stop and the second at 100 percent. Copy the resulting background declaration inside an existing selector, such as .hero, or download the snippet to keep with your design notes.

Choose an angle that fits the layout

In a CSS linear gradient, 0 degrees points upward and 90 degrees points right. A diagonal angle such as 135 degrees creates a different balance between the top and bottom corners. The preview is one rectangle, so try the declaration on your actual wide banner or narrow mobile card before deciding. Element proportions affect where the color transitions appear.

Check readability over the full background

A text label can cross both the darker and lighter parts of a gradient. Check foreground contrast at multiple positions instead of measuring only one endpoint. You may need a solid panel behind text or different colors to keep the whole heading readable. The generated CSS changes a background; it does not automatically choose an accessible foreground or audit the finished component.

Know the supported gradient controls

This generator creates two fixed color stops with opaque six-digit HEX colors. It does not add intermediate stops, opacity controls, conic gradients or color-space selection. The background shorthand can reset other background properties, including a previous image. If your selector already uses several background layers, adapt the declaration carefully and verify the result in the page where it will be used.

CSS Gradient Generator FAQs

No. The browser paints the gradient from CSS, so this output does not reference a separate background image file.
The linear-angle field is used only for linear gradients. Radial mode generates a centered circular gradient and ignores that field.
The interface supports two colors. You can manually add another color stop to the generated declaration if your design needs a more complex transition.
