Gradients are one of the most popular design trends in modern web design. They add depth, visual interest, and a contemporary feel to backgrounds, buttons, and UI elements. The CSS Gradient Generator by ToolfolioHub makes it easy to create stunning linear gradients with a visual interface, live preview, and instant CSS code generation.

Whether you're designing hero sections, buttons, backgrounds, or card overlays, this tool helps you create the perfect gradient quickly and easily.

What are CSS Gradients?

CSS gradients create smooth transitions between two or more colors:

  • Linear Gradients: Colors transition in a straight line at a specific angle
  • Radial Gradients: Colors transition from a center point outward (can be added manually)
  • Conic Gradients: Colors transition around a center point like a clock

Our tool focuses on linear gradients, which are the most commonly used type for backgrounds and UI elements.

Key Features

1. Two-Color Gradient Support

Select two colors using color pickers. The gradient transitions smoothly between them.

2. Angle Control (0-360°)

Adjust the gradient angle:

  • 0°: Left to right
  • 90°: Bottom to top
  • 180°: Right to left
  • 270°: Top to bottom
  • 135°: Bottom-left to top-right (common diagonal)

3. Live Preview

See gradient changes instantly as you adjust colors and angle. Real-time preview eliminates guesswork.

4. Production-Ready CSS

Copy generated CSS code directly into your stylesheets. Code follows standard CSS syntax.

Common Gradient Patterns

  • Subtle Backgrounds: Similar colors (e.g., light blue to lighter blue) for soft backgrounds
  • Bold Hero Sections: Contrasting colors (e.g., purple to pink) for dramatic impact
  • Button Hover Effects: Darker/lighter versions of the same color for depth
  • Card Overlays: Transparent gradients over images for text readability

Conclusion

The CSS Gradient Generator simplifies creating beautiful gradients for modern web design. With live preview and instant code generation, it's an essential tool for designers and developers.
