Gradient Generator
Build CSS linear-gradient strings with a live preview.
Gradient Generator turns two stop colors and an angle into a CSS linear-gradient string with a live preview you can paste into stylesheets.
How it works
Provide colorA|colorB|angle. The tool builds a linear-gradient() declaration and previews it on the page.
Benefits
- Instant CSS snippets
- Live preview
- Angle control
- Local-only generation
Use cases
- Hero backgrounds
- Button fills
- Chart decorative fills
- Teaching CSS gradients
Best practices
- Keep stops high-contrast enough for overlay text
- Prefer subtle angles for UI chrome
- Export tokens alongside raw CSS
- Test on retina and low-end screens
Common mistakes
- Putting low-contrast text on busy gradients
- Using too many loud stops in product UI
- Forgetting vendor-specific needs are uncommon now
- Hard-coding gradients without dark-mode variants
Privacy
Gradient Generator processes colors locally in your browser. ToolHub does not receive your inputs unless you enable on-device history.
