Introducing CSS Gradient Generator

We’re excited to announce that CSS Gradient Generator is now live on Tools.Town — a free, visual tool for building linear and radial CSS gradients with a live preview, up to 6 color stops, and a ready-made preset library.

No more guessing angles or hand-tweaking rgb() values in DevTools. Pick your colors, see the result, copy the CSS.

What Does It Do?

Two gradient types, full control over every stop:

Linear

Sweeps colors along a line. Set any angle from 0–360° or pick a direction (left, right, diagonal).

Radial

Radiates outward from a center point. Choose circle or ellipse, and set the focal position.

Presets

A curated library — Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Brand — to start from instead of blank.

Every gradient generates a ready-to-paste CSS rule: background: linear-gradient(135deg, #6366f1 0%, #8b5cf6 100%). Copy it in one click.

How It Works

Pick a type

Choose Linear or Radial. For linear, set the angle. For radial, pick shape and focal point.

→

Add color stops

Start with 2 stops and add up to 6. Drag each stop along the bar to set its position.

→

Preview live

The preview panel updates in real time as you tweak angle, stops, and colors.

→

Copy the CSS

Click Copy and paste the ready-to-use CSS rule directly into your stylesheet.

Why We Built It

Writing gradient CSS by hand is tedious. The syntax for a multi-stop radial gradient with a custom position is not something you want to type from memory. Browser DevTools let you tweak existing gradients, but you still have to write the first version yourself.

We wanted a tool that starts from nothing, stays visual throughout, and hands you production-ready CSS at the end — no signup, no export step, no designer software required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

Linear gradients sweep colors along a straight line at a given angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from a center point, like a sunburst or spotlight effect.

How many color stops can I add?

Up to 6. Most designs look best with 2–3 stops — more stops can create a busy, muddy appearance unless carefully chosen.

Does the output work in all browsers?

Yes. The generated CSS uses the standard linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() syntax supported by every modern browser.
