CSS Background Generator

Solid, linear, radial, conic or repeating gradient backgrounds -- multi-stop colour editor, size/position/repeat/attachment controls, presets, randomize, and export to CSS, Tailwind, SCSS or React.

What this tool does

Builds a complete background — six different fill types plus the full set of sizing and positioning properties — in one place, rather than a gradient generator that leaves background-size/position/ repeat to be added by hand afterward.

Six background types

Solid, linear gradient, radial gradient (circle or ellipse), conic gradient (a colour wheel sweeping around a center point), and repeating versions of both linear and radial — the repeating types are the correct way to build tiled stripe or ring patterns from a gradient rather than a background image.

Multi-stop colour editor

Any number of colour stops can be added, removed, and repositioned, not limited to a fixed two-colour fade — needed for the multi-band conic colour wheel or a repeating stripe pattern's hard-edged colour bands.

Size, position, repeat and attachment

For any gradient type, background-size (cover, contain, auto, or stretch), background-position, background-repeat, and background-attachment (including fixed, for a parallax-style scroll effect) are all set alongside the gradient itself.

Presets and randomizing

Seven presets — Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Radial Spotlight, Conic Wheel, Repeating Stripes, and Reset — cover common looks, plus a randomize button that picks a type and a fresh 2-4 stop combination.

Getting the CSS out

Export as plain CSS, a Tailwind arbitrary-value class string, SCSS, or a React inline style object, copyable with one click.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The background is built and rendered entirely in the browser -- nothing is sent to a server.
What is a conic gradient used for?
It sweeps colours around a center point like a colour wheel or pie chart, rather than along a line (linear) or outward from a center (radial) -- useful for pickers, progress rings, and decorative wheel patterns.
How do the repeating gradient types differ from the regular ones?
They repeat the same colour-stop sequence over and over across the element, which is the correct way to build tiled stripes or concentric rings from a gradient -- a regular gradient only transitions through its stops once.
Can I use more than two colours?
Yes -- any number of colour stops can be added, each with its own colour and position, needed for things like a multi-band conic colour wheel or a hard-edged repeating stripe pattern.
Does this set background-size and position too, or just the gradient?
Both -- background-size, background-position, background-repeat, and background-attachment are all included alongside the gradient itself, not left to be added separately.
What export formats are available?
Plain CSS, a Tailwind arbitrary-value class string, SCSS, or a React inline style object -- selectable from a dropdown next to the code output.
