Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CSS Gradient?
A CSS Gradient is a CSS3 image function that creates a smooth transition between two or more colors. It allows background patterns to be created without using image files.
How to use Tailwind CSS Gradient Generator?
Select your colors and direction using the visual editor. Then, click the "Tailwind" tab to get ready-to-use arbitrary values (e.g., `bg-[linear-gradient(...)]`) that you can directly paste into your class attribute.
Why Use CSS Gradients?
CSS Gradients reduce HTTP requests, load faster than image files, and are infinitely scalable without quality loss. They are essential for modern, performant web design.
How to add CSS Gradient in React?
React uses camelCase for style properties. Switch to the "React" tab to get a JavaScript object (e.g., `{ backgroundImage: ... }`) which you can pass to the `style` prop of your JSX elements.
Who Uses CSS Gradients?
Web developers, UI/UX designers, and front-end engineers use CSS gradients to create buttons, backgrounds, and text effects that look modern and polished.
Can I use this for Bootstrap Gradients?
Yes. Although Bootstrap doesn't have a native gradient generator, you can use the "Bootstrap" tab here to generate an inline `style="..."` attribute that overrides the default background of any Bootstrap component.
When to Use CSS Gradients?
Use them for button backgrounds, hero section overlays, progress bars, or any element needing a colorful, dynamic touch without the weight of a JPG/PNG file.
Is SCSS/SASS supported?
Absolutely. The "SCSS" tab provides a SCSS variable definition (`$gradient: ...;`) that you can include in your preprocessor files for consistent styling across your project.
Where Can I Use CSS Gradients?
CSS Gradients are supported by all modern browsers. You can use them in standard CSS backgrounds, border images, and even text masks (with background-clip).
How Do I Create a CSS Gradient?
You can write complex `linear-gradient` or `radial-gradient` code manually, or better yet, use a visual tool like this one to pick colors, angles, and opacity, then copy the auto-generated code.
