What is Gradient Text Generator?

A tool for applying gradient effects to headings and catchphrases. Generate CSS code with beautiful gradients applied to text, without writing any code.

Choose colors with the picker, adjust angles and positions with sliders. Find your ideal color scheme while previewing the results, then copy the generated CSS code to use immediately on your website.

Key Features

Gradient Type Selection

Switch between linear and radial gradients. For linear gradients, you can specify angles from 0-360 degrees, with preset buttons available for commonly used angles (0°, 45°, 90°, 180°, 270°). For radial gradients, choose between circular and elliptical shapes.

Color Stop Management

Add up to 8 colors and adjust each position within the 0-100% range. The "Equal Position" button automatically spaces colors evenly, and you can then fine-tune individual positions with sliders.

Preview and Background Color Adjustment

Enter text to see the gradient in real-time. You can also change the background color to check the design in conditions close to actual usage.

CSS Code Generation

Completed gradients are automatically converted to CSS code. Browser-compatible code using -webkit-background-clip and background-clip is generated.

How to Use

Enter text at the top, adjust type, angle, and colors in the gradient settings area. Check the result in the preview, then copy the generated CSS code to use.

How Gradient Text Works

Gradient text uses background-clip: text to clip the gradient background to the text shape.

background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
color: transparent;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
background-clip: text;

This is achieved by making the text itself transparent and displaying only the gradient background.

Using Gradient Text

Headings and Titles

Using gradients in main page titles and section headings helps attract attention. Particularly effective in landing page hero sections.

Logos and Branding

Applying gradients to company or service logos gives a modern, polished impression. Since it's text-based rather than SVG, it's also advantageous for SEO.

CTA Buttons

Using gradients in call-to-action text like "Register Now" or "Learn More" can improve click-through rates.

Tips for Beautiful Gradient Text

Color Selection

Combining adjacent colors on the color wheel (blue to purple, yellow to orange) creates natural, harmonious results. Too much contrast can reduce readability, so pay attention to brightness balance.

Relationship with Background Color

The impression of text gradients changes significantly with the background color combination. Choose darker gradients for light backgrounds and lighter gradients for dark backgrounds to maintain visibility.

Using Different Angles

• 90° (horizontal): Subtle accent while maintaining readability
• 45° or 135° (diagonal): Dynamic and eye-catching effect
• 180° (vertical): Calm impression, suitable for longer text

Browser Support

All modern browsers support background-clip: text, but it's recommended to specify fallback styles for older browsers.

color: #667eea; /* Fallback color */
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;

Browsers that don't support gradients will display the solid color specified first.

Considerations

Accessibility

Since gradient text is decorative, avoid using it for body text or long passages. It's most effective when limited to important, short text like headings and catchphrases.

Text Selection Appearance

In some browsers, gradient text may become hard to see when selected. For important information, consider using regular text styles.
