Frequently Asked Questions
CSS gradients explained.
What is a CSS gradient?
A CSS gradient is a smooth transition between two or more colors defined in pure CSS without images. Types: linear-gradient (directional), radial-gradient (circular/elliptical), conic-gradient (rotating around a center point).
Do I need a -webkit- prefix?
No, for modern browsers (Chrome 26+, Firefox 16+, Safari 7+). The -webkit- prefix is only needed for very old browsers. Enable it in the options if you need IE10/older Safari support.
How do I create a transparent gradient?
Use rgba colors — e.g. rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) for transparent. To fade to transparent, set the end stop to rgba(255,255,255,0) for white-to-transparent or rgba(0,0,0,0) for black-to-transparent.
Can I use CSS variables in gradients?
Yes, but this visual tool generates hex/rgba values. To use CSS custom properties, copy the output and manually replace the color values with your variables (e.g. var(--color-primary)).
What browsers support conic-gradient?
conic-gradient is supported in Chrome 69+, Edge 79+, Safari 12.1+, Firefox 83+. It's not supported in Internet Explorer. Use @supports (background: conic-gradient(red, blue)) for a progressive enhancement fallback.
