What's the difference between linear and radial gradients?

A linear gradient flows along a straight line in a specified direction or angle. A radial gradient expands outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical shape. Use linear for directional backgrounds and radial for spotlight or glow effects.

How many color stops can I add?

There's no practical limit — you can add as many color stops as you need. Each stop can have its own color and position. Most gradients use 2-5 stops, but complex designs may use more.

Can I set transparency on color stops?

Yes, each color stop supports an opacity value. You can create fades to transparent by setting the alpha channel on individual stops. The generated CSS uses rgba or hsla notation for transparent stops.

What is a conic gradient?

A conic gradient rotates color transitions around a center point, like a color wheel or pie chart. It's useful for creating spinner animations, color wheels, and pie-chart-like visualizations without any JavaScript.

Does the generated CSS work in all browsers?

Yes, the generated CSS uses standard gradient syntax supported by all modern browsers. CSS gradients are supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and all major mobile browsers.
