What is a CSS gradient generator?
A CSS gradient generator lets you build a smooth color transition visually and get the exact CSS code needed to reproduce it, without hand-writing gradient syntax or guessing at angle and color-stop values. Pixvert's gradient generator supports linear, radial, and conic gradients, each with unlimited color stops.
Writing CSS gradients by hand means juggling angle degrees, percentage-based color stop positions, and multiple color values in the right order — small mistakes are easy to make and hard to spot just by reading the code. This tool shows a live preview as you adjust colors, stops, and angle, so what you see is exactly what you'll get.
Once the gradient looks right, the generator outputs ready-to-paste CSS using the standard `linear-gradient()`, `radial-gradient()`, or `conic-gradient()` functions, compatible with all modern browsers.
How to create a CSS gradient

- 4
Preview live — see the gradient update in real time as you adjust it
- 5
Copy the CSS code — copy the ready-to-use CSS declaration with one click

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?
Linear gradients transition along a straight line at a set angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point. Conic gradients rotate colors around a center point like a color wheel.
Will the generated CSS work in all browsers?
Linear and radial gradients are supported in all modern browsers. Conic gradients are supported in all current major browsers but may need a fallback for very old browser versions.
Can I use more than two colors in a gradient?
Yes, add as many color stops as you need — the generator supports unlimited stops with custom positions for each.
Is my gradient data sent anywhere?
No, the gradient is built and rendered entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
Can I control the exact angle of a linear gradient?
Yes, set a precise angle in degrees to control the direction of the color transition.
Does the tool support transparency in gradients?
Yes, colors with alpha transparency (RGBA) can be used as color stops to create fade-to-transparent effects.
