How To Use

Creating gradient text is simple. Choose your colors, set the gradient direction, and see the effect in real-time.

Set Colors

Add 2-5 color stops using the color pickers. Adjust each color's position (0-100%) to control where the color appears in the gradient.

3

Configure Direction

For linear gradients, choose a direction (to top, to right, etc.) or set a custom angle. The preview updates in real-time as you adjust settings.

4

Preview and Copy

See your gradient text in the preview area. When satisfied, click "Copy" to get the CSS code, which includes all necessary vendor prefixes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 Why do I need -webkit-background-clip?
The -webkit- prefix is required for older WebKit-based browsers (Safari, older Chrome). Modern browsers support background-clip: text, but including both ensures maximum compatibility. The tool generates both automatically.
2 Can I use gradient text on any element?
Yes, gradient text works on any text element (h1, h2, p, span, etc.). However, it works best on larger text sizes. Very small text may not show the gradient effect clearly.
3 Does gradient text affect accessibility?
Gradient text can affect readability if contrast is low. Ensure sufficient contrast between the gradient and background. Test with accessibility tools and consider providing a fallback solid color for users who prefer high contrast.
