Question 1

What is a CSS gradient generator?

Accepted Answer

A CSS gradient generator is an online tool that lets you visually design gradient backgrounds and outputs ready-to-use CSS code. You pick colors, positions, angle, and gradient type, then copy the generated CSS directly into your stylesheet.

Question 2

What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?

Accepted Answer

A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line at a specified angle. A radial gradient emanates outward from a central point in a circular or elliptical pattern. Both are supported natively in CSS.

Question 3

How do I add more color stops?

Accepted Answer

Click the 'Add stop' button to add a new color stop. Each stop has a color picker and a position slider (0–100%). You can add as many stops as you like and remove any stop (minimum two stops are always kept).

Question 4

Can I use the generated Tailwind class directly?

Accepted Answer

The Tailwind output is a best-effort approximation based on the gradient angle and endpoint colors. For gradients with custom colors, it uses Tailwind's arbitrary value syntax like from-[#hex]. Ensure your Tailwind config supports JIT/arbitrary values.

Question 5

What are the preset gradients?

Accepted Answer

There are four presets: Sunset (warm pink-to-yellow tones), Ocean (deep blue to bright teal), Forest (green gradient), and Fire (orange-yellow-red). Clicking a preset instantly loads its color stops into the editor.
