What is a CSS gradient?

A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colours rendered by the browser. CSS supports linear, radial, and conic gradients via the background property, eliminating the need for image files.

How do I create a diagonal gradient in CSS?

Use the direction keywords like 'to bottom right' or specify a custom angle such as '135deg' in the linear-gradient() function. Our generator lets you pick any direction or dial in a precise angle.

What is a conic gradient?

A conic gradient transitions colours around a centre point, like a colour wheel. It's created with the conic-gradient() CSS function and is great for pie charts, colour wheels, and decorative effects.

Can I add transparency to gradient colours?

Yes, each colour stop supports an opacity slider (0 to 100%). Under the hood this generates rgba() values, giving you full control over transparency at every point in the gradient.

Do CSS gradients work in all browsers?

Modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) fully support linear-gradient, radial-gradient, and conic-gradient. Enable vendor prefixes in our generator for maximum compatibility with older browsers.
