Frequently asked questions

Answers about CSS gradients, Tailwind utilities, and how to apply generated styles in real projects.

The tool supports linear, radial and conic gradients. Mesh gradients are not standardized in pure CSS yet; approximate presets can be exported as multiple layered linear/radial gradients.

Copy the CSS and paste it into a class or style block, then apply it to the element you want to style. In React/Next.js, prefer a class in your CSS/tailwind utilities; inline style={{ backgroundImage: "linear-gradient(...)" }} also works for quick tests.

Yes. Linear, radial and conic gradients are supported in all modern evergreen browsers. For the rare legacy case, linear/radial have long-standing support; conic has support in current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox versions.

It uses standard gradient utilities (bg-gradient-to-*, from-*, via-*, to-*). When exact hex values are needed, the classes use arbitrary values like from-[#123456]. Not every configuration can be represented perfectly in utilities; the tool will note limitations.

Check contrast against representative stops or the average color and use overlays when needed (e.g., a subtle black/white linear-gradient on top). Large text needs 3:1 contrast; normal text 4.5:1. The preview shows quick contrast hints.

Gradients are painted by the browser and are generally cheap. Avoid animating large areas or many layered gradients on low-end devices. Prefer static backgrounds for best performance and use transforms/opacity for animations when possible.
