About Gradient Generator
CSS gradients are one of the most effective ways to add visual interest to a webpage without loading an image. Xevon Tools' Gradient Generator gives you a visual editor for both linear and radial gradients with unlimited color stops, adjustable angles and positions, and a live preview that updates in real time. The generated CSS uses the standard background syntax and works in every modern browser without vendor prefixes. Adding a new stop is as simple as clicking the gradient bar, and you can drag stops to control exactly where each color transition happens. For linear gradients you set the angle or direction; for radial gradients you control the center point and shape. Once you are happy with the result, one click copies the full CSS property to your clipboard. This tool is ideal for hero backgrounds, card overlays, button states, and any situation where a gradient replaces what would otherwise be a heavy image download. Because everything runs in your browser, there are no server requests and no limitations on how many gradients you can generate.
