Common errors and how to fix them

The gradient doesn't show on my element
The element needs a size. Give it a height (or content) β€” an empty element with no height has nothing to paint.
There's a hard line instead of a smooth blend
Two stops are at the same position. Move them apart for a smoother transition.

CSS Gradient Generator FAQ

Choose linear or radial, set the angle or shape, pick your color stops and copy the generated CSS. Paste it into the background property of any element.

A linear gradient blends colors along a straight line at the angle you choose. A radial gradient spreads out from the center as a circle or ellipse.

Each stop sets where a color is fully applied along the gradient, from 0% (start) to 100% (end). Moving two stops close together makes a sharper transition.

It's a fallback. Browsers that can't render the gradient use the solid color instead. All modern browsers support CSS gradients, so it's rarely needed but harmless.

Yes. Use an arbitrary value such as bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,#6D28D9_0%,#EC4899_100%)] β€” replace spaces with underscores β€” or put the CSS in a custom class.

No. Gradients are drawn by the browser, so they're usually lighter than an image and stay sharp at any size.
