What is CSS Gradient Generator?

Build linear, radial, and conic CSS gradients visually and copy the generated background or text gradient code.

How it works

SiteIndex builds a linear, radial, or conic gradient string from your chosen colors, stops, and angle, previews it live, and lets you copy it as a background or a text gradient.

Common uses
  • Design a background gradient for a hero section or button.
  • Create a gradient text effect for a heading.
  • Fine-tune gradient angle and color stops before copying CSS.
Limitations
  • The preview does not measure text contrast across every point of the gradient.
  • Browser rendering, element size, and surrounding styles can change the final appearance.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add more than two colors?
Yes, you can add multiple color stops and adjust each stop's position along the gradient.
