FAQ
Can I create radial gradients?
Yes. Toggle between Linear and Radial mode at the top. Radial mode creates circular gradients from the center outward.
How many color stops can I add?
You can add up to 8 color stops. Each stop has its own color picker and position slider.
Does it generate vendor prefixes?
Modern browsers all support the standard syntax. The generated code uses the standard `linear-gradient` / `radial-gradient` syntax which works in all current browsers.
Can I save my gradients?
Copy the CSS code and save it in your project. The tool runs in-browser and does not store data on a server.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no registration or usage limits.
