Frequently asked questions

Linear gradients at any angle and radial gradients (circular or elliptical) are available.

How many color stops can I add?

Add as many color stops as needed. Each stop has a color and a position along the gradient.

Does it generate the CSS code?

Yes. The tool outputs the complete CSS gradient code ready to paste into your stylesheet.

Can I create a transparent gradient?

Yes. Set the opacity of any color stop to zero to create a fade to transparent effect.

Does it work offline?
