What Is Gradient Image Generator?

A gradient image generator that creates smooth color transition images. Add 2 to 6 color stops and choose from five gradient directions: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, radial, and conic. Gradients are rendered using Canvas native gradient APIs for smooth interpolation. Set custom output dimensions up to 4096×4096px. Perfect for backgrounds, social media headers, wallpapers, and design assets.

Why Use Gradient Image Generator?

  • Five gradient directions including radial and conic
  • Up to 6 color stops for complex gradients
  • Canvas-native rendering for smooth interpolation
  • Custom output dimensions up to 4096px

Common Use Cases

Wallpapers

Create custom gradient wallpapers for desktop and mobile.

Social Media

Gradient backgrounds for posts, stories, and headers.

Web Design

Generate hero section backgrounds and overlay gradients.

Presentations

Clean gradient slides for professional presentations.

Technical Guide

Uses Canvas 2D API gradient functions: createLinearGradient for horizontal, vertical, and diagonal; createRadialGradient for radial; createConicGradient for conic. Color stops are distributed evenly across the gradient range (0 to 1). The gradient is applied as fillStyle on a canvas matching the target dimensions. Output supports PNG for lossless quality.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Start with 2-3 colors for clean gradients
  • 2
    Diagonal gradients work great for modern UI backgrounds
  • 3
    Conic gradients create unique color wheel effects
  • 4
    Add colors to create more complex multi-stop transitions
