CSS Gradient Generator
Create a three-stop linear gradient with custom stop positions and copy-ready CSS output.
Stop positions should be in ascending order for the most predictable gradient output.

How it works
This tool generates a CSS linear-gradient() value based on your selected colors, positions, and angle. It follows standard CSS syntax used in modern browsers.
- Angle: controls the direction of the gradient (0° = left → right, 90° = bottom → top).
- Color stops: define which colors appear in the gradient.
- Stop positions: control where each color starts and ends.
- Preview: shows the exact visual output before using the CSS.
Result interpretation:
If colors blend too quickly, your stop positions are too close.
If large areas show a single color, the stops are too far apart.
For smooth gradients, use evenly spaced positions (e.g., 0%, 50%, 100%).
Examples
- UI background: Create modern gradient backgrounds for hero sections or cards.
- Button styling: Apply gradients to buttons for visual emphasis.
- Brand design: Combine multiple brand colors into a single gradient.
- CSS experimentation: Test different stop positions and angles to learn gradient behavior.
Example gradient:
- Angle: 90deg
- Stops: Purple (0%) → Cyan (50%) → Green (100%)
- Result: smooth vertical gradient transitioning evenly across the element

Yes. You can define color stop percentages for each color stop to control exactly where colors appear.
- Does it support more than two colors?
Yes. This version supports three color stops, allowing more complex gradient transitions.
- What does the angle mean?
The angle defines the direction of the gradient. For example, 90deg creates a vertical gradient, while 0deg creates a horizontal gradient.
