About This Tool
The CSS Linear Gradient Generator creates modern two-color linear gradient backgrounds with real-time angle controls and copy-ready CSS declarations.
Linear gradients create depth and visual hierarchy on website heroes, call-to-action buttons, cards, and banner graphics without loading heavy image files.
### How the Gradient Generator Works 1. Dual Color Selection: Choose your starting color (#3B82F6 blue default) and ending color (#8B5CF6 purple default) using native color pickers. 2. Angular Direction: Rotate the gradient angle from 0 degrees (bottom-to-top) through 360 degrees using the interactive range slider (default 135 degrees diagonal). 3. Real-Time Visual Canvas: The gradient preview card renders the active linear gradient dynamically as you adjust color stops or angle values. 4. CSS Declaration Export: Generates clean, standards-compliant CSS: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #3b82f6, #8b5cf6); ready to paste into stylesheet rules.
### Concrete Styling Example Select starting color #3b82f6 and ending color #8b5cf6 at an angle of 135 degrees. The tool generates: `background: linear-gradient(135deg, #3b82f6, #8b5cf6);` providing a smooth diagonal color transition from royal blue in the top-left to violet purple in the bottom-right.
### Processing and Privacy All color selections, angle calculations, and style previews run client-side in your web browser. No palette parameters are uploaded to any server.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which CSS property is generated by this tool?
The tool generates the standard CSS background: linear-gradient(angle, color1, color2); declaration supported across all modern browsers.
What does the angle parameter represent in CSS linear gradients?
The angle defines gradient direction: 0deg points upward, 90deg points rightward, 180deg points downward, and 270deg points leftward. An angle of 135deg creates a balanced diagonal slant.
Are my color selections stored on a remote server?
No. All gradient styles render directly inside your local browser session.
