How CSS Gradients Work
Generated image
CSS gradients are images generated by the browser.
Backgrounds
Gradients are commonly used as background or background-image values.
Color stops
Color stops define where colors appear.
Linear
Linear gradients follow a direction or angle.
Radial
Radial gradients spread from a center point.
Conic
Conic gradients rotate around a center point.
Linear, Radial, and Conic Gradients Explained
Linear gradients
Move along a straight line, controlled by an angle or direction.
Radial gradients
Spread outward in a circle or ellipse from a selected position.
Conic gradients
Rotate around a center point, useful for wheels and decorative UI.
Repeating gradients
Repeat the color-stop pattern for stripes and patterns.
background
Applies the full background shorthand.
background-image
Applies the gradient as a background image only.
Color Stops, Angles, Positions, and Accessibility Notes
Color stops
Each color stop defines a color and optional position in the gradient.
Angles
Linear and conic gradients can use degrees such as 90deg.
Directions
Keywords like to right can be readable alternatives to angles.
Radial position
The center point controls where a radial gradient begins.
Conic start angle
Conic gradients can start from a chosen angle.
Text contrast
Use a contrast checker before placing important text over gradients.
