Gradient Maker

Features
Read full description

Make the exact gradient you can already picture β€” then walk away with the code to ship it. GradientMaker is a focused gradient studio for designers and developers who want a beautiful blend and clean, production-ready output, not a bloated graphics suite. Most gradient tools stop at a pretty preview. GradientMaker gives you a real editor: drag color stops on a live track, dial the precise angle, switch between linear, radial and angular (conic) types, and copy the result as CSS, SwiftUI or a raw hex list the instant it looks right. What you design is exactly what you paste. WHAT YOU GET - A big live preview that updates the moment you move a stop, change the angle, or swap gradient type - Linear, radial and angular (conic) gradients with up to eight color stops - Clean, copy-ready CSS for the web and a ready-to-paste SwiftUI gradient for iOS - A raw hex list of every stop for handing off to teammates or design tools - Curated collections β€” Sunset, Ocean, Neon, Pastel and Dark β€” plus a one-tap Random starter - A harmony generator that builds complementary, analogous, triadic and monochrome blends from any base color PERFECT FOR - Web developers who need a linear or conic gradient and the CSS to match - iOS engineers who want SwiftUI LinearGradient, RadialGradient or AngularGradient code - Designers building brand palettes, backgrounds and UI themes - Anyone who just loves color and wants a fast, tactile way to explore blends WHY NOT JUST GRAB A GRADIENT ONLINE Random online gradients rarely fit your angle, your exact brand colors, or your stack. Here you tune every stop and degree yourself, preview it full-size, and export code that drops straight into your project β€” no screenshots, no eyedropping, no guesswork.
