How do I create a CSS gradient?

Use the gradient generator to pick colors and direction visually, then copy the generated CSS code. The tool supports linear-gradient and radial-gradient with multiple color stops.

What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?

A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line (any angle). A radial gradient transitions colors outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical pattern.

Can I use CSS gradients as backgrounds?

Yes — CSS gradients are native CSS values used in the background-image property. They scale perfectly at any resolution unlike image files.

Do CSS gradients work in all browsers?

Yes — CSS gradients have 99%+ browser support. No prefix or fallback is needed for modern web projects.
