How to Use
Enter Your Text

Pick Type and Angle
Choose linear, radial, or conic gradient, then set the angle or direction slider to control how colors flow across letters.

Enable Text Fill and Choose Font

Copy the CSS snippet, Tailwind bg-clip-text classes, or SVG code with one click, or download a PNG for sharing anywhere.
How to Calculate
The tool builds text gradients by combining background: linear-gradient(...) with background-clip:text, -webkit-background-clip:text, color:transparent and -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent. The background paints the gradient box, background-clip clips it to the glyph shapes, and transparent fill lets the gradient show through the letters.
About the CSS Gradient Text Generator
The CSS Gradient Text Generator creates true text gradients, not background boxes — it paints a linear gradient behind your words and clips it to the letterforms with background-clip:text and -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent. Unlike a section background, the gradient moves with each glyph, with live controls for type, angle, stops, fonts, and fallbacks plus Tailwind bg-clip-text output.
Start from one-click presets inspired by Instagram, sunset, ocean, and multicolor neon styles, then customize stops or export as CSS, Tailwind, SVG, or transparent PNG. Everything runs locally in your browser with no uploads, and there is no account or signup needed — open, style, and copy your code.
