How to Use This Tool
Create stunning animated gradients for your website with our powerful CSS Gradient Generator. This tool helps designers and developers build beautiful, moving backgrounds without writing complex code.
Start by selecting your Gradient Type. Choose Linear Gradient for directional color transitions or Radial Gradient for circular color effects emanating from a center point.
Customize your gradient with Color Stops. Click "Add Color" to include more colors in your palette. Use the color pickers to select perfect hues and adjust stop positions to control the blend points. Remove colors with the "Remove Color" button to simplify your design.
For linear gradients, adjust the Angle control to change the direction of the color flow. For radial gradients, choose between Ellipse or Circle shapes to control the gradient's form.
Enable the Animation feature to bring your gradient to life. Select from three animation types: Pan for smooth movement across the background, Pulse for scaling effects that breathe, or Spin for rotating color patterns.
Adjust the Background Size to control the animation smoothness. Larger values (like 400%) create more seamless, slower-moving transitions. Set the Duration to determine the speed of your animation cycle.
View your creation in real-time in the Preview area. The live display updates instantly as you adjust colors, angles, and animation settings.
When satisfied, click "Generate Code" to produce clean, ready-to-use CSS code. The output includes all necessary properties for your gradient and animation. Use the "Copy CSS" button to easily transfer the code to your stylesheet.
This essential web design tool simplifies creating engaging, professional animated backgrounds that enhance user experience, improve visual appeal, and add modern motion design elements to any website without performance-heavy JavaScript or video backgrounds.
