Gradient value
linear-gradient(90deg, #3B82F6 0%, #EC4899 100%)
A CSS gradient generator produces linear-gradient() or radial-gradient() values you paste into stylesheets — without hand-writing angles, stop percentages, and hex colors. Designers and frontend developers use it for heroes, buttons, and cards with immediate visual feedback.
Muxgen supports two color stops, live preview, randomize for exploration, and dual copy modes — all client-side with no stored designs on servers.
Three steps from type selection to paste-ready CSS.
Linear shows angle 0–360° (default 90). Radial shows circle or ellipse at center.
Two color pickers plus Stop 1 and Stop 2 percentages (0–100) — preview updates live.
Copy gradient value for inline styles or Copy CSS snippet for a .my-gradient-element class.
Every control in the tool panel.
Toggle linear or radial — switches which extra control (angle vs shape) appears.
0–360 degrees in the linear-gradient() call — default 90deg (left-to-right feel).
Circle or ellipse in radial-gradient(... at center, ...) — radial mode only.
Native color inputs — values uppercased on change; defaults #3B82F6 and #EC4899.
0–100 percent positions for each color — defaults 0 and 100.
Live swatch, monospace gradient line, read-only CSS textarea, Random gradient, two copy buttons.
Angle and stops for directional blends.
Common horizontal blend — rotate toward 180deg for vertical top-to-bottom flows.
Both valid endpoints — experiment for diagonal hero backgrounds.
Pull stops inward (e.g. 10% and 90%) for more solid color bands at edges.
Circle and ellipse at center.
Even radial spread — good for buttons, avatars, and spotlight effects.
Wider horizontal spread — suits banner and card highlight regions.
Gradient origin is fixed at center in generated syntax — move in custom CSS if needed.
Gradient function vs full CSS rule.
Paste into background:, background-image:, or mask-image: in component CSS.
.my-gradient-element { background: linear-gradient(...); } — rename class to match your BEM or utility layer.
Mirrors the snippet for manual select — same content as Copy CSS snippet.
Where generated gradients land in production UI.
Full-width background on .hero — check text contrast with white or dark overlay.
linear-gradient on .btn-primary — pair with hover state using Color Code Generator hex tweaks.
Store copied gradient string in --gradient-brand CSS variables.
Random gradient button for exploration before locking brand direction.
Pick endpoint hex in the Color Code Generator, build multi-swatch palettes in the Color Palette Generator, then paste stops into this gradient tool.

Gradients, colors, and campaign assets together.
Color Code Generator handles one color; this tool blends two for backgrounds.
Palette Generator outputs many swatches; here you get paste-ready CSS gradient syntax.
Linear for direction flows; radial for focal glow and orb effects.
Component supports two colors — extend manually in CSS for three+ stops.
CSS only — screenshot preview if you need a PNG for non-CSS contexts.
Copy endpoint hex into Canva or Adobe QR foreground/background pickers.
Terms frontend developers search.
CSS function blending colors along a line defined by an angle in degrees.
CSS function blending colors outward from a center point with circle or ellipse shape.
Percentage where a color is anchored along the gradient line or radius.
0–360deg on linear mode — 0deg points upward in standard CSS syntax.
Common target for pasted gradient — shorthand or background-image.
Named variable (e.g. --gradient-hero) storing your copied gradient string.
Modern gradients that stay readable and maintainable.
Place readable text over gradients with overlays or solid scrims when needed.
Extreme stop gaps can look banded — smooth unless intentional.
Document hex stops and angle in your design system README.
Preview in target browsers — gradient rendering is widely supported but verify mobile.
Copy into CSS variables for reuse across components.
Use Color Code Generator to align stops with brand primary and accent.
Habits that pair with the generator controls.
Blue-to-pink at 90deg is a strong baseline — nudge angle to 135deg for diagonal heroes.
Random gradient randomizes colors, angle, and stop spread in one click.
Switch to radial circle behind feature cards for soft glow.
Paste .my-gradient-element into CodePen or StackBlitz global CSS first.
Try stop1 0% stop2 85% so the second color dominates the CTA face.
