CSS Gradient Generator: limits and things worth knowing

• Gradients are images in CSS terms, so they belong in `background-image` and can be layered with other backgrounds.
• A gradient between two saturated complementary colours passes through grey in the middle, which is usually not what was wanted. Adding a mid stop fixes it.
• Interpolating in oklch rather than sRGB avoids the muddy midpoint entirely and is now widely supported.
• Gradients cost nothing in bandwidth compared with an exported image and scale to any size without artefacts.

Is it private and secure?

Your privacy is built in. CSS Gradient Generator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.

Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.

You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
