About Color Gradient Generator

A color gradient generator is a tool that creates smooth transitions between two or more colors. Gradients are widely used in web design, graphic design, and digital art to add depth, dimension, and visual interest to designs.

Our free online gradient generator allows you to create beautiful linear, radial, and conic gradients with multiple color stops. You can customize every aspect of your gradient, preview it in real-time, and export it as CSS code or download it as an image.

How to Use

  1. Select gradient type: Choose between linear, radial, or conic gradients.
  2. Set direction: For linear gradients, choose the direction of the color flow.
  3. Add color stops: Click "Add Color" to add more colors to your gradient.
  4. Adjust positions: Use the sliders to position each color along the gradient.
  5. Set dimensions: Choose the width and height for your gradient image.
  6. Export: Copy the CSS code or download as an image in your preferred format.

Gradient Types Explained

Linear Gradients

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line. You can control the direction of this line (left to right, top to bottom, or any angle).

Radial Gradients

Radial gradients transition colors outward from a central point in a circular pattern, creating a spotlight or glow effect.

Conic Gradients

Conic gradients transition colors around a center point (like a spinning color wheel), making them perfect for pie charts and color wheels.

Common Uses for Gradients

  • Website backgrounds and headers
  • Buttons and call-to-action elements
  • Social media graphics and banners
  • App interfaces and UI elements
  • Digital art and illustrations
  • Presentation backgrounds
  • Product packaging designs
  • Infographics and data visualizations

Design Tips for Creating Beautiful Gradients

  • Use complementary colors for vibrant, eye-catching gradients
  • Try analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) for smooth, harmonious transitions
  • Add multiple color stops to create more complex and interesting gradients
  • Adjust color positions to control how quickly or slowly colors transition
  • Experiment with opacity to create subtle, transparent gradients
