What it does
Build CSS linear and radial gradients with a live preview. Pick the type, choose a direction or angle, add or remove color stops, and fine-tune the position of each. The tool outputs production-ready CSS you can paste straight into a stylesheet. Presets (sunset, ocean, forest, fire, twilight) give you a quick starting point.
Great for hero sections, button backgrounds, and loading states. For solid-color work use color picker; for extracting a palette from an image, color extractor.
