FAQ
What gradient types are supported?
Linear gradients with custom angle and radial gradients with multiple color stops.
Can I add multiple color stops?
Yes, add as many color stops as you want and adjust their positions with sliders.
What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?
A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line at a specified angle. A radial gradient radiates colors outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical pattern.
Can I use the gradient as a text color?
Yes, but it requires additional CSS: set background to the gradient, then apply -webkit-background-clip: text and -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent. The tool generates the background-image property; the additional rules are applied in your stylesheet.
Is the generated CSS compatible with all browsers?
Yes. The standard linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() CSS functions are supported by all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) without vendor prefixes.
