Question 1

How do I use the generated gradient on my website?

Accepted Answer

Copy the CSS from the output panel and paste it into your stylesheet or inline style. For Tailwind projects, paste the raw colors into an arbitrary value like bg-[linear-gradient(135deg,#8B5CF6,#06B6D4)].

Question 2

What is the difference between linear and radial gradients?

Accepted Answer

A linear gradient blends colors along a straight line — the angle you set controls the direction. A radial gradient blends outward from a center point, which reads as a spotlight and works well for hero sections, badges, and emphasis areas.

Question 3

Do gradients hurt website performance?

Accepted Answer

Pure CSS gradients cost almost nothing to render — they are computed by the browser, not downloaded as images. They are one of the most performance-friendly ways to add visual interest to a page.

Question 4

How many colors should a gradient use?

Accepted Answer

Two is the safest default and almost always looks professional. Three can work for bold brand moments like hero backgrounds or buttons, but more than three usually turns muddy — unless the designer is deliberately going for a 'mesh' effect.
