Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSS gradient?▾
A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors, created entirely with CSS code. Gradients can be linear (in a straight line), radial (from a center point outward), or conic (around a center point). They are commonly used for backgrounds, buttons, and decorative elements without needing image files.
How do I create a linear gradient in CSS?▾
Use the background property with the linear-gradient() function. For example: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #6366f1, #ec4899); — this creates a gradient from purple to pink at a 135-degree angle. You can add multiple color stops and control their positions.
What is the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?▾
Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line. Radial gradients transition colors outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical shape. Conic gradients transition colors around a center point, like a color wheel. Each type is suited for different design effects.
Can I use multiple color stops in a CSS gradient?▾
Yes, CSS gradients support unlimited color stops. Each stop defines a color and optionally a position along the gradient. For example: linear-gradient(to right, red 0%, yellow 50%, green 100%). This tool lets you add and position as many stops as you need visually.
Are CSS gradients supported in all browsers?▾
CSS gradients are supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Linear and radial gradients have near-universal support. Conic gradients are supported in Chrome 69+, Firefox 83+, Safari 12.1+, and Edge 79+.
