The Gradient Generator helps you create beautiful, customizable gradients for your designs. With support for linear, radial, and conic gradients, you can create any gradient effect needed for modern web design.

How It Works

The generator provides a visual interface to:

1. Select gradient type (linear, radial, or conic)
2. Adjust angle or shape parameters
3. Add, remove, and position color stops
4. Preview the gradient in real-time
5. Generate clean CSS code for immediate use
6. Check color contrast for accessibility

Key Features

• Multiple Gradient Types: Create linear, radial, and conic gradients
• Custom Color Stops: Add as many colors as needed with precise positioning
• Real-time Preview: See changes instantly as you adjust parameters
• CSS Output: Get production-ready CSS code with all vendor prefixes
• Accessibility Checks: Verify contrast ratios between gradient colors
• Responsive: Works on all device sizes

Use Cases

• Web Design: Create background gradients for websites and apps
• UI Elements: Design buttons, cards, and other components with gradient effects
• Branding: Develop gradient color schemes that match brand guidelines
• Prototyping: Quickly test gradient ideas before implementation
• Education: Learn how CSS gradients work through interactive experimentation

Technical Details

The generator uses standard CSS gradient syntax:

Linear Gradient:

background: linear-gradient(angle, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);

Radial Gradient:

background: radial-gradient(shape size at position, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);

Conic Gradient:

background: conic-gradient(from angle, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);

The tool calculates contrast ratios using the WCAG 2.1 formula:

const contrast = (l1 + 0.05) / (l2 + 0.05);
// where l1 and l2 are relative luminances of the colors
