Gradient Generator

Scan to open this page

Free CSS gradient generator supporting linear, radial, AND conic gradients — we checked two popular generators (cssgradient.io, 10015.io) directly and neither supports conic at all. It also includes an optional 'Animate' toggle: since browsers can't interpolate gradient colors via transition, this uses a background-position shift trick to make the gradient visibly move, something no competitor we reviewed offered — paired with a prefers-reduced-motion guard.

How it works

  1. Pick a gradient type (Linear, Radial, or Conic) and three colors with positions
  2. Adjust the angle (linear/conic) — the live preview updates instantly
  3. Toggle 'Animate' for a moving gradient effect, then copy the HTML + CSS

Frequently asked questions

Does this support conic gradients?

Yes — Linear, Radial, and Conic. We checked two popular gradient generators (cssgradient.io and 10015.io) directly and confirmed neither offers conic gradients at all.

Can I animate a gradient?

CSS can't smoothly interpolate between gradient color values via transition — that's a real browser limitation. Instead, toggle 'Animate' to enlarge the background and shift its position over time, which visibly moves the gradient. The generated code includes a prefers-reduced-motion guard that stops it for anyone with that OS setting on.

Do I need to log in or does this cost anything?

No — everything runs in your browser, free, no account.

Two popular CSS gradient generators. Neither one makes a conic gradient.

We checked cssgradient.io and 10015.io directly — both cap out at linear and radial. Conic gradients (the kind you need for pie charts, color wheels, and loading rings) aren't an option on either.
