CSS gradients are a powerful feature of modern web design, allowing for smooth and dynamic color transitions without the need for image files. Linear gradients progress along a straight line, which can be oriented at any angle. Radial gradients, on the other hand, emanate from a single point, creating circular or elliptical color spreads. This tool leverages these native CSS capabilities to provide a flexible and powerful way to create a wide range of visual effects.

How do I use the generated code?

Simply copy the code and apply it to the `background` or `background-image` property of any HTML element in your CSS.

What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line (at any angle). A radial gradient transitions colors outwards from a central point in a circle or ellipse.

Can I animate these gradients?

While you can't directly animate the `background-gradient` property, a common technique is to create a larger gradient and animate its `background-position`. This tool is a great starting point for creating the gradient you'll use in such an animation.
