How do I choose between linear, radial, and conic gradients?

Use linear for backgrounds and hero sections where color transitions in a straight line. Use radial for spotlight-style effects that emanate from a center point. Use conic (from ~2023 onwards, all modern browsers) for pie-chart-style sweeps around a point.

What browsers support the generated CSS?

Linear and radial gradients work in every browser since IE10. Conic gradients are supported in Chrome/Edge 69+, Safari 12.1+, Firefox 83+ — effectively 100% of production traffic in 2026. No vendor prefixes needed.

Can I add more than two color stops?

The generator uses two stops for a clean UI, but the CSS `linear-gradient()` function accepts any number of stops with explicit percentages (e.g. `linear-gradient(90deg, red 0%, yellow 50%, green 100%)`). Copy the output and add more stops manually.

What angle should I use?

0° means the gradient starts at the bottom and ends at the top. 90° goes left-to-right. 135° is the popular top-left-to-bottom-right diagonal used in most hero sections (Stripe, Linear, Vercel). 180° is top-to-bottom.

Does the tool export as an image?

No — this tool generates CSS, which is much smaller and infinitely resizable. For a PNG/JPG export, apply the CSS to a large ` ` and use your browser's screenshot tool.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The gradient generator runs 100% in your browser — colors, angle, and generated CSS never leave your device. Safe for confidential brand palettes.
