What is the Gradient Mesh Generator?

The Gradient Mesh Generator is a free visual tool that helps you create multi-color mesh gradient backgrounds. By adding and dragging color control points, adjusting blur and opacity, you can generate unique gradient backgrounds. Unlike simple linear or radial gradients, mesh gradients overlay multiple radial gradients for richer, more natural color transitions. All operations happen locally in your browser — copy the CSS code with one click and use it in your project.

Core Features

How to Use

1. Select Preset: Choose from preset styles as a starting point, or start from a blank canvas.

2. Add Control Points: Click on the canvas to add new color control points, or use the "➕ Add Point" button.

3. Adjust Parameters: Drag control points to change position, modify colors and blur in the control point list.

4. Export: Click "📋 Copy CSS" to copy the code, or "💾 Download PNG" to export as an image.

Use Cases

Case 1: Web Background Design

Mesh gradient backgrounds are a popular trend in modern web design, perfect for landing pages, product showcases, and login screens to create a premium, stylish visual effect.

Case 2: UI Component Backgrounds

Add mesh gradient backgrounds to cards, modals, sidebars, and other UI components for enhanced depth and visual richness.

Case 3: Brand Visuals

Create mesh gradient effects consistent with brand colors for social media covers, presentation backgrounds, email templates, and other brand materials.

Technical Background

Mesh Gradient was originally a feature in Adobe Illustrator, achieving multi-directional, multi-color smooth gradients by setting different colors at mesh nodes. CSS doesn't natively support mesh gradients, but the effect can be simulated by overlaying multiple radial-gradient layers with background-blend-mode. This tool uses this technique, converting each control point into a radial gradient layer and blending them for natural color transitions. As CSS specifications evolve, native mesh-gradient support may be added in the future.

❓ FAQ

What is the Gradient Mesh Generator?

The Gradient Mesh Generator is a visual tool that helps you create multi-color mesh gradient backgrounds. Add and drag color control points, adjust blur and opacity, and copy the CSS code with one click.

How is mesh gradient different from regular gradients?

Regular CSS gradients are linear or radial with only two directions. Mesh gradients overlay multiple radial gradients to simulate the mesh gradient effect from Adobe Illustrator, producing more natural and rich color transitions.

Which browsers support the generated CSS?

The generated code uses standard CSS radial-gradient and background-blend-mode, compatible with all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

How many color control points can I add?

There's no hard limit, but 2-6 control points work best. Too many points increase CSS code size and may affect rendering performance.

Can I export as an image?

Yes. Click the download button to export the current gradient as a PNG image, or copy the CSS code directly for use in web projects.
