Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a linear gradient vs. a radial gradient?

A linear gradient shifts colors along a straight line (like from top-left to bottom-right). A radial gradient shifts colors outward in a circular or elliptical pattern starting from a central point.

Is this CSS code cross-browser compatible?

Yes! The CSS output generated by this tool uses the standard background: linear-gradient(...) and background: radial-gradient(...) syntax, which is fully supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

Can I use this tool completely offline?

Yes. The color picking, angle math, and CSS code generation are powered entirely by client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to a server, making it fast, private, and capable of working completely offline.
