What it does
ColorGradient is a free CSS gradient editor for simple fades and layered backgrounds. Its interface exposes presets, layers and background width and height, with generated CSS beside the editor.
The Layers section and background-size controls support patterns as well as a single gradient. Inspect the emitted background-image, background-size and background-position declarations together when moving the design into a stylesheet.
The site’s guides illustrate linear, radial and conic gradients with CSS examples. These cover straight transitions, centred colour changes and angular blends. Its separate patterns and advanced-layer guides are still marked Coming soon, so the available editor and published examples provide different levels of explanation.
Strengths
- Layer and sizing controls go beyond a two-colour fade.
- The generated background CSS remains visible.
Watch out for
- The dedicated pattern and advanced-layer guides are unfinished.
Best for
