An Online CSS Gradient Generator is a tool designed to help you quickly create and visualize CSS gradients for web design and development. It typically allows you to see a preview of the gradient and provides the corresponding CSS code (e.g., linear-gradient or radial-gradient) that you can directly use in your projects.
Zenfied's CSS Gradient Generator simplifies this by instantly creating beautiful, random two-color gradients. It displays the gradient visually, shows you the details of the generated gradient (type, direction, and color codes), and provides the complete CSS background code for easy copying. All operations are client-side for speed and privacy.
- Generate a Gradient: Click the "Generate New Gradient " button. The tool will instantly create a new random two-color gradient.
- View Gradient Preview: The large "Gradient Preview" area will update to display the newly generated gradient.
- Inspect Gradient Details:
- Gradient Style: Shows the type (e.g., "Linear") and direction (e.g., "135deg") of the gradient.
- First Color: Displays the HEX, RGB, and HSL codes for the starting color of the gradient.
- Second Color: Displays the HEX, RGB, and HSL codes for the ending color of the gradient.
- Get CSS Code: The "CSS Code" box will show the complete
backgroundCSS property required to apply this gradient. - Copy Details or Code: Use the " Copy" buttons next to each piece of information (gradient type, direction, color codes, or full CSS code) to copy it to your clipboard.
- Repeat: Click "Generate New Gradient" again to explore different random gradients until you find one you like.
- Instant Random Gradients: Generate beautiful two-color gradients with a single click.
- Live Gradient Preview: Immediately visualize the generated gradient.
- Detailed Information: Displays gradient type, direction, and individual color codes (HEX, RGB, HSL).
- Full CSS Code Output: Get the complete
backgroundCSS property. - Easy Copy-to-Clipboard: Quickly copy any specific detail or the full CSS code.
- Secure & Private: All generation happens client-side in your browser.
- Fast & Lightweight: No complex controls, just instant results.
- Completely Free: Generate unlimited gradients without cost.
- No Installation Needed: Works directly in modern web browsers.
Our CSS Gradient Generator uses JavaScript to randomly create and display gradients:
- Random Color Selection: When you click "Generate New Gradient":
- The script generates two sets of random RGB values (Red, Green, Blue components between 0-255) to define the start and end colors of the gradient.
- Random Gradient Parameters (Assumed):
- It likely selects a gradient type (currently defaulting to or always "Linear" based on your HTML output).
- It randomly generates a direction for the linear gradient (e.g., a degree value like "135deg", or keywords like "to right").
- CSS Code Construction: The script then constructs the CSS
backgroundproperty string. For a linear gradient, this looks like:linear-gradient(direction, color1, color2). - Applying the Preview: This generated CSS string is applied to the
style.backgroundproperty of the "Gradient Preview" div, causing it to display the gradient. - Displaying Information:
- The chosen gradient type and direction are displayed.
- The randomly generated RGB colors are converted to their HEX and HSL equivalents and displayed.
- The full CSS code string is also shown for copying.
This process happens instantly in your browser, providing a quick way to explore different gradient possibilities.
- Quick Inspiration: Easily discover new and interesting color combinations for gradients.
- Ready-to-Use CSS: Get accurate CSS code that you can directly paste into your stylesheets.
- Saves Time: Avoids manual trial-and-error of writing CSS gradient code from scratch.
- Visual Feedback: See the gradient instantly, making it easier to judge its appearance.
- Learning CSS Gradients: Understand the syntax and see how different colors and directions affect the outcome.
- Background Designs: Perfect for creating attractive backgrounds for websites, presentations, or social media graphics.
- Accessible Anywhere: Use it on any device with a modern web browser for on-the-go gradient generation.

Can I customize the colors, type, or direction of the gradient?
This current version of the tool is designed for generating random two-color linear gradients. You cannot manually input specific colors, choose between linear/radial, or set a precise direction. It's built for quick inspiration. For full customization, you might need a more advanced gradient editor.
How many colors are used in the generated gradients?
This generator currently creates gradients using two distinct random colors for a smooth transition.
What types of gradients does it generate (linear, radial, etc.)?
Based on the output provided (e.g., "Linear" type and a degree for direction), this tool primarily generates linear gradients. Support for other types like radial gradients might be considered for future updates.
Is the generated CSS code compatible with all browsers?
The tool generates standard CSS gradient syntax (e.g., linear-gradient(...)) which is widely supported by all modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). For very old browsers, vendor prefixes (-webkit-, -moz-, etc.) might be needed, but these are generally not required for current browser versions. The generated code should work well in most contemporary web projects.
Can I generate gradients with transparency?
This version of the generator focuses on opaque colors. The randomly generated colors do not include an alpha (transparency) channel. You would need to manually edit the generated CSS code (e.g., by changing #RRGGBB to #RRGGBBAA or rgb() to rgba()) to add transparency.
