How do I ensure accessibility?

Use high-contrast text colours and test overlays with real content. Our presets aim for strong contrast, but always verify.

Overview

Gradients can elevate a layout when handled carefully. Our builder provides an interactive playground with fine-grained controls and copy-ready CSS so you can move from exploration to production swiftly.

Everything runs in the browser, letting you experiment with brand palettes, UI states, and animation ideas without needing design software.

Key features

Multiple colour stops
Add, reorder, and fine-tune colour stops with percentage accuracy to produce smooth transitions or bold stripes.
Angle & positioning controls
Rotate gradients, swap between linear and radial types, and set shape extents for hero backgrounds or buttons.
Preset palettes
Start from curated presets inspired by UI trends or import your own hex values to stay on brand.
Copy-ready CSS
Copy the gradient as CSS or Tailwind utility classes with vendor prefixes for legacy support.
