Tips & Best Practices

Start with Presets

Begin with a preset gradient and customize it. This is often faster than starting from scratch.

Conic Gradient Support

Conic gradients have slightly less browser support than linear/radial. Consider providing a fallback background color.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool supports three types of CSS gradients: linear gradients (colors flow in a straight line at any angle), radial gradients (colors radiate from a center point as a circle or ellipse), and conic gradients (colors rotate around a center point like a color wheel).
Click the 'Add Color' button to add a new color stop. You can have up to 10 color stops in a single gradient. Each color stop has a color picker and a position slider to control where that color appears in the gradient.
The position determines where a color appears in the gradient, expressed as a percentage from 0% to 100%. A color at 0% appears at the start of the gradient, and 100% at the end. Colors blend smoothly between stops.
