Tips & Tricks

1

Linear gradient angles: 0deg points upward, 90deg points right. Angles increase clockwise.

2

Radial gradients change colors from center outward, beautifully coloring the entire background.

3

Using similar colors creates elegant and calm gradients.

4

Using complementary colors (opposite on color wheel) creates vibrant and striking gradients.

5

Adjust color stop positions to control how the gradient transitions between colors.

6

For transparency, use rgba() or hsla() format to specify alpha values.

7

In web design, maintain proper contrast for text readability.

8

Gradients can be applied to backgrounds, borders, and even text, not just backgrounds.

FAQ

  • QUESTION 1

    What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

    Linear gradients change colors in a straight line with direction, while radial gradients change colors radiating outward from the center point uniformly.

  • QUESTION 2

    What are color stops?

    Color stops are color points placed at specific positions on the gradient, ranging from 0% (start) to 100% (end). You can combine multiple color stops to create complex gradients.

  • QUESTION 3

    Where can I use the generated CSS?

    You can use it in website CSS, HTML element style attributes, CSS-in-JS libraries, Sass/SCSS files, and any other context. Commercial use is also allowed.

  • QUESTION 4

    Can I modify preset colors?

    Yes! After selecting a preset, you can freely change the colors and positions of color stops. Use presets as starting points and customize to your preferences.

  • QUESTION 5

    What if gradients don't display?

    Older browsers (IE11 and earlier) don't support gradients. Also check your CSS syntax. Sometimes you may need to use it as background-image property.

  • QUESTION 6

    How do angle specifications work?

    0deg points upward (12 o'clock), 90deg points right (3 o'clock), 180deg points down (6 o'clock), 270deg points left (9 o'clock). Angles increase clockwise.

  • QUESTION 7

    Can I create transparent gradients?

    Yes! After selecting colors with the color picker, manually edit the CSS code to rgba() format to specify transparency. Example: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) is 50% transparent red.

  • QUESTION 8

    Any considerations for responsive design?

    Complex gradients may impact performance on mobile devices. Consider using simpler gradients or adjusting with media queries for better mobile experience.
