What is a CSS gradient?

A CSS gradient is an image generated by the browser that blends two or more colors. It is used as a background value, so it needs no image file.

How do I create a linear gradient in CSS?

Use background: linear-gradient(135deg, #00ff66, #0066ff); — the angle sets the direction and each color can have an optional stop position.

Can I copy the generated CSS?

Yes. Click Copy CSS to put the code on your clipboard, or Download CSS to save a .css file. You can also edit the code by hand before copying.

Is anything uploaded to a server?

No. The CSS is generated in your browser from the settings you choose. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

Can I share my design?

Yes. The page address updates as you change settings, so the Share button copies a link that restores your exact configuration.
