Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CSS gradient and why should I use one?

A CSS gradient creates a smooth color transition using code instead of an image file. It’s perfect for modern website backgrounds, buttons, cards, and UI elements because it loads faster, looks sharp on any screen size, and is fully customizable.

Is this gradient generator really free?

Yes — completely free. No signup, no limits, no hidden fees, no ads that block your work. Create and copy as many gradients as you want.
What kind of CSS code does this tool output?

It generates clean, modern CSS using linear-gradient() or radial-gradient() with color stops, angles, positions, and transparency support. The code works perfectly in plain CSS, Tailwind, Bootstrap, Elementor, Webflow, and any modern framework or CMS.

Can I use these gradients on commercial client websites?

Yes — 100%. The CSS code you copy is yours to use freely in personal projects, freelance work, client sites, apps, portfolios, or commercial products. No attribution or license fee required.
Does the tool work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes — fully responsive and touch-friendly. You can create gradients on your phone or tablet browser without any issues.

How do I add transparency or glass-like effects?

Use the color picker and drag the alpha (transparency) slider to any value between 0 (fully transparent) and 1 (opaque). The tool automatically uses rgba() in the output code so you can create soft fades or modern glassmorphism styles.
Can I save my gradients for later use?

The tool works in-browser only — copy the CSS and paste it into your project, a notes app, or a snippets tool like Notion or VS Code. For frequent favorites, bookmark the page or save codes in a text file.

Is my color selection private when using this tool?

Yes — everything happens directly in your browser. No colors, settings, or data are sent to our servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy is completely protected.
