How do I make a CSS gradient?

Pick a mood and an angle above and run the tool — the CSS code box gives you a ready background: linear-gradient(...) rule. Paste it into your stylesheet on any element, changing the angle number to rotate the gradient direction.

What is a linear gradient maker?

A linear gradient maker blends two or more colors along a straight line at a chosen angle. This free tool is one: choose a mood like Sunset or Ocean, set an angle from 0 to 360 degrees, and get the complete linear-gradient CSS with color stops.

How do I create a background gradient for my website?

Use the generated CSS code as the background property of any element — for example background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%). All 382 gradients in the catalog are hand-picked two-to-six-color blends that work as hero or card backgrounds.

Where can I find UI gradients for design projects?

This tool draws on the uiGradients collection of 382 curated gradients. Pick a mood (Warm, Cool, Sunset, Ocean, Neon) to filter the catalog, then copy the CSS — every pick is a real curated palette, not a random color blend.

How do I copy gradient CSS code?

Run the tool and copy the text from the CSS code result box — it is a complete background declaration, for example background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff9a9e 0%, #fecfef 100%). The Color stops list shows each color with its exact position.

Gradient Generator: CSS Gradient Maker

What is Gradient generator?

Gradient Generator — Make beautiful CSS gradients in one click — pick a mood and an angle to get a hand-picked gradient with copy-ready background code and color stops.

Gradients come from the uiGradients dataset (MIT, 382 curated name + color entries), filtered by mood: each mood matches gradient names against a documented keyword list (Warm, Cool, Sunset, Ocean, Neon; "Any" uses all 382), then picks one deterministically — the same mood + angle always returns the same gradient via an FNV-1a hash of "mood|angle" modulo the pool size. Colors are normalized with chroma.js (BSD-3-Clause) and stops are spaced evenly from 0% to 100%. Limitations: the mood match is name-based (a heuristic), so a pick can occasionally feel off-mood; small pools repeat picks across angles; all colors come from the curated dataset, not from arbitrary input.

Good to know

Selection is deterministic, not random: identical mood + angle inputs always give the identical gradient.
Mood filtering is name-based and heuristic — a pick may occasionally feel off-mood.
Color stops are distributed evenly (e.g. 0%, 50%, 100% for three colors); the dataset has 2–6 colors per gradient.

How it works

Gradients come from the uiGradients dataset (MIT, 382 curated name + color entries), filtered by mood: each mood matches gradient names against a documented keyword list (Warm, Cool, Sunset, Ocean, Neon; "Any" uses all 382), then picks one deterministically — the same mood + angle always returns the same gradient via an FNV-1a hash of "mood|angle" modulo the pool size. Colors are normalized with chroma.js (BSD-3-Clause) and stops are spaced evenly from 0% to 100%. Limitations: the mood match is name-based (a heuristic), so a pick can occasionally feel off-mood; small pools repeat picks across angles; all colors come from the curated dataset, not from arbitrary input.

Examples

Ocean gradient at 135 degrees

Status: ok — a background: linear-gradient(135deg, …) rule plus the evenly spaced color stops.

Any mood straight down

Status: ok — one of the full 382 gradients rendered at 180deg.

Angle out of range

Status: error — a friendly message that the angle must be between 0 and 360 degrees.
