FAQ
What is gradient border animation?
Gradient border animation is a CSS visual effect that applies a gradient to element borders and makes it dynamically rotate or flow. It's commonly used on buttons, cards, images, and other UI elements for a modern, engaging look.
How to implement gradient border in CSS?
The core technique uses CSS `conic-gradient()` or `linear-gradient()` with `@keyframes` animations. This tool encapsulates the complex CSS, so you just pick colors, width, speed, and direction to generate production-ready CSS code.
Can I customize the animation speed?
Yes. You can adjust the animation duration (0.5-10 seconds) - smaller values create faster animations. You can also set rotation direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) and customize color combinations for precise visual control.
How to use the generated CSS code?
Click 'Copy CSS' after generation and paste the code into your CSS file. The generated code includes all necessary styles and animation definitions, compatible with modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
