CSS Gradient Generator
CSS gradients are everywhere in modern UI — hero backgrounds, card headers, button states, brand splash screens. This generator builds linear, radial, and conic gradients with up to 3 stops, with a live preview and copy-paste CSS output. Drag the sliders to adjust the angle and stop positions.
Linear is the workhorse — 90% of B2B SaaS gradients are linear (hero backgrounds, card headers, button states). Radial creates spotlight or glow effects, often used for hero accents. Conic is for color wheels, progress rings, and unusual visual elements — uncommon in B2B but powerful when used right.
CSS gradients are GPU-accelerated and very cheap to render — much faster than gradient images. They scale infinitely without artifacts. The only performance concern is animating gradient stops (which forces repaints) — animate transform or opacity instead, or use a SVG gradient for animation.
Banding occurs when adjacent colors are too similar — common in dark gradients (e.g. #000 to #1a1a1a). Browsers approximate the in-between colors with discrete steps that become visible. Solutions: (1) use a wider color range, (2) add subtle noise via background-blend-mode, (3) use a SVG gradient with explicit dithering.
For your brand hero — definitely brand colors. For decorative elements (card headers, accents) — your secondary palette works. Avoid generic 'AI gradient' looks (the cliché purple-to-pink) unless that fits your brand. B2B SaaS works best with desaturated, professional gradients.
