What is a gradient palette generator?

A gradient palette generator is a tool that lets you define multiple color stops along a gradient, preview the smooth color transition, and generate both a CSS gradient string and a set of discrete color swatches (a palette). Our tool supports 2–6 color stops and generates up to 12 palette swatches through linear interpolation in RGB color space.

How do I make a 4 color gradient?

The tool loads with a 4-color gradient by default (purple → violet → pink → rose). You can edit each of the 4 color stops by clicking the swatch to open the color picker or typing a hex code. Adjust the position of each stop with the slider. The CSS and palette update in real time. If you need a fresh starting point, click the "4-Stop" preset.

What is the difference between linear, radial, and conic gradients?

A linear gradient transitions colors along a straight line (e.g., left to right). A radial gradient starts at a center point and radiates outward in a circle. A conic gradient sweeps colors around a central point like a color wheel. All three are supported standard CSS gradient functions (linear-gradient, radial-gradient, conic-gradient) and work in all modern browsers.

How do I copy the CSS gradient to use in my project?

Click the "Copy" button next to the CSS section. The full background property string (e.g., background: linear-gradient(90deg, #6366f1 0%, #d946ef 100%);) is copied to your clipboard. Paste it directly into your CSS file, Tailwind config, or CSS-in-JS style object.

What does the palette swatches slider do?

The palette swatches slider controls how many discrete color steps are extracted from the gradient (3–12). Each step is calculated by interpolating between your color stops in RGB space. This gives you a set of evenly-spaced hex values you can use as a color palette in design tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD, or in code as an array of colors for data visualizations.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. All gradient calculations, color interpolation, and CSS generation happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No color data, images, or any other information is uploaded to a server. The tool works offline once the page has loaded.

Gradient Palette Generator

Our free Gradient Palette Generator creates stunning multi-color gradient palettes and exports ready-to-paste CSS in seconds. Add up to 6 color stops, drag position sliders to control the transition, and choose between linear, radial, and conic gradient types. For linear gradients, pick from 8 compass directions. The palette swatches panel generates 3–12 discrete hex colors extracted from your gradient through RGB interpolation — perfect for exporting to Figma, Tailwind, or any design system. Six curated presets (Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Aurora, 4-Stop, Neon) get you started instantly, and the randomizer generates fresh palettes on demand. Click any swatch to copy its hex value, copy the full CSS gradient string, or copy the complete hex palette list — all in one click, no sign-up required.

Who Is It For?

How It Works

Add between 2 and 6 color stops using the color pickers, then drag the position sliders to control where each color sits along the gradient. Choose Linear, Radial, or Conic gradient type and — for linear gradients — pick the direction using the 8-point compass. Adjust the Palette Swatches slider (3–12 steps) to expand or reduce the discrete color steps generated from your gradient. The live preview bar at the top updates instantly. Copy the ready-to-paste CSS gradient string or the full hex palette list with one click.
