Quick Tool Overview

The Gradient Image Generator renders linear, radial and conic gradients as real image files at any resolution — for presentations, email, print and app assets, where CSS is not available. The equivalent CSS is generated alongside, and optional noise removes the banding gradients show on 8-bit displays.

About the Gradient Image Generator

CSS handles gradients on the web, but plenty of places cannot: presentation software, email templates, print layouts, video editors and anywhere an image is expected rather than a style.

This produces the file. Linear, radial and conic types are all available with as many colour stops as you want, each positioned exactly. Because the output is rendered at whatever resolution you set, it can be a 4K desktop background as easily as a 200-pixel button texture. The equivalent CSS is generated alongside, so the same gradient can be used both ways without building it twice. Optional noise breaks up the banding that gradients show on cheap screens.

Key features of the Gradient Image Generator

Three gradient types

Linear along an axis, radial from a point, conic sweeping around one — all with unlimited stops.

Any resolution

From a small button texture to a 4K desktop background, rendered at the size rather than scaled up.

Noise to kill banding

A few percent of dither removes the visible steps that wide gradients show on cheap screens.

CSS alongside

The same gradient as a style rule, so it can be used both ways without being rebuilt.

Precise stop positions

Each colour stop is placed exactly rather than distributed evenly, which is where control actually matters.
