Why designers use this gradient generator
Gradients give depth to flat layouts, power up hero sections, and make mockups look finished in seconds. This generator runs entirely in your browser — no uploads, no sign-up, nothing leaves your machine.
What you can do
- Pick any two colors with the native color picker (or hit Random for inspiration).
- Drag the angle slider from 0° to 360° and see the preview update live.
- Copy clean CSS for a single element, gradient overlay, or background body style.
- Export a PNG at 1920×1080, 1024×1024, or 800×600 for your design boards.
Tips for better gradients
- Keep a strong value difference between the two stops so text stays readable.
- For subtle depth, move both colors close together on the same hue (like #ff6b6b → #c0392b).
- Linear 135° is a safe default for hero sections and cards.
