FAQ

Can I create gradients with more than two colors?

Yes. You can add as many color stops as you need. Click anywhere on the gradient bar to insert a new stop, then adjust its color and position. Multi-stop gradients are great for creating complex, layered color transitions.

Does the generated CSS work in all browsers?

The output includes standard CSS gradient syntax, which is supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Vendor-prefixed versions are also provided for older browser compatibility when needed.

How do I make part of the gradient transparent?

Adjust the opacity slider on any individual color stop. Setting a stop to zero opacity creates a smooth fade-to-transparent effect, which is especially useful for image overlays and text-over-image sections.
