FAQ
- What is the CSS gradient generator?
- It is a browser tool that lets you configure color stops, angle, and direction for linear or radial gradients, then outputs copy-ready CSS. All processing happens locally.
- Does this tool send my colors or gradients to a server?
- No. Gradient generation runs entirely in your browser. Your color choices and CSS output never leave your device.
- Can I use RGB, HSL, or named colors in the gradient?
- Yes. The tool accepts hex, rgb, rgba, hsl, and hsla values. Use any valid CSS color format for your stops.
- Why does my gradient look different in another browser?
- Gradient rendering can vary slightly across browsers and color profiles. Test your CSS in target environments and consider fallback background colors for older browsers.
