Common Use Cases

  • Creating background gradients for hero sections
  • Designing button hover effects with gradient transitions
  • Building gradient overlays for images

Pro Tips

Use 2-3 colors for clean, professional gradients. Too many stops can look muddy.

Linear gradients at 135 degrees create a natural diagonal flow.
