Create linear, radial, and conic gradients with a visual editor. Add or remove color stops, adjust angles, and copy CSS with -webkit prefix.
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #3b82f6 0%, #8b5cf6 100%); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(90deg, #3b82f6 0%, #8b5cf6 100%);

Each color stop has a color and a position (0–100%). Stops are interpolated between positions. Use multiple stops for complex effects. The -webkit prefix ensures compatibility with older Safari and Chrome versions.
Gradients are GPU-accelerated and perform well. Avoid excessive color stops for large areas. Use conic gradients for loading spinners and pie charts. Combine gradients with background-size for patterns.
-webkit- prefix for older browser support. Paste it directly into your stylesheet.background-size and background-repeat to create repeating stripe or dot patterns purely in CSS.Linear and radial gradients are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Conic gradients have broad support since 2020. This tool includes the -webkit- prefix in the output so your gradients render correctly in older versions of Safari and Chrome as well.
Yes. CSS gradients are rendered by the GPU and add zero network requests, making them faster than image backgrounds. They also scale perfectly at any resolution, which is a big advantage on high-DPI (Retina) displays. For simple transitions, gradients are almost always the better choice.
You cannot directly transition the background-image property, but you can animate background-position on an oversized gradient or use CSS custom properties (variables) with @property to interpolate color values. Another common technique is layering two gradients and fading between them with opacity.
