CSS gradients create smooth color transitions rendered by the browser — no image files needed. Linear gradients transition along a straight line at any angle. Radial gradients radiate from a center point outward in a circle or ellipse. Conic gradients sweep around a center point like a color wheel. All three types support multiple color stops, allowing complex multi-color transitions. Gradients are specified as background-image values and can be layered with other backgrounds.
FAQ
Which gradient type should I use?
Linear gradients are the most common — use them for backgrounds, buttons, and section dividers. Radial gradients work well for spotlight effects and circular UI elements. Conic gradients are best for pie-chart-like effects and color wheels.
Do CSS gradients affect performance?
CSS gradients are rendered by the GPU and are extremely performant. They are significantly lighter than equivalent image files. However, very complex gradients with many stops can slightly increase render time.
