What is a CSS gradient?

A CSS gradient is an image generated by the browser that displays smooth transitions between two or more specified colors.

How does a linear gradient differ from radial?

Linear gradients transition colors along a straight line, while radial gradients transition outward in a circular or elliptical pattern from a central point.

Can I add multiple color stops?

Yes. Click anywhere on the gradient slider track to add a color stop, and drag to adjust its position.

What browser prefix is needed for gradients?

Modern browsers support standard syntax like linear-gradient(), but older versions required -webkit- prefixing.

Is the generated CSS code fully responsive?

Yes. CSS gradients scale dynamically based on the parent container's dimensions without pixelation.

Can I export the gradient as an image?

No, but you can copy the standard CSS code and apply it as a background attribute in any design program or browser.

What is a color stop position?

It is the percentage along the gradient line (0% to 100%) where a specific color is fully saturated before transitioning to the next.

How do I create transparent gradients?

Use RGBA or HSLA color formats, adjusting the alpha transparency value to fade a color to transparent.

Does using CSS gradients improve site performance?

Yes. CSS gradients load instantly compared to heavy image background files, saving server bandwidth and improving page speed.

Can I animate gradients with CSS?

Yes. You can use CSS keyframe animations to shift background positions or transition gradient colors over time.
