Frequently asked questions
What CSS does the generator output?
A standard background: linear-gradient(...) or radial-gradient(...) declaration, compatible with all modern browsers. For older browsers a fallback color is included.
Can I have more than two colors?
Yes - add up to four color stops, and each stop's position can be dragged or set to a percentage.
Do radial gradients support position and shape?
Yes. Choose circle or ellipse and set the center position from presets or by percentage.
Is there a way to randomize colors?
The "Surprise me" preset button generates a tasteful random gradient you can then tune.
Is my gradient data stored or sent anywhere?
No. All generation and conversion is local to your browser.
Can I create radial gradients as well as linear gradients?
Yes. You can switch between linear gradients (with custom angles) and radial gradients with adjustable center positioning.
How do I add or remove color stops?
Click along the gradient preview bar to add new color stops, or select an existing stop to change its color or remove it.
Is the generated CSS compatible with modern browsers?
Yes. The output uses standard CSS linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() syntax supported across 100% of modern mobile and desktop browsers.
