CSS Text Gradient Generator
Generate gradient text CSS with background-clip.
Gradient-filled text
Gradient text — a color blend clipped to the shape of the letters — makes headings and logos pop. It relies on background-clip: text plus a few supporting properties that are easy to get wrong. This generator builds the full recipe with a live preview.
Because the effect needs several properties working together (and a fallback color), a ready snippet is safer than assembling it from memory. Pick your gradient, preview the text, and copy the CSS for your heading.
Copy-ready gradient text
Gradient text needs background-clip: text with a transparent color, plus the -webkit- prefix for broad support. Built in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How does gradient text work?
The gradient is set as the background, background-clip: text crops it to the letter shapes, and color: transparent lets it show through the text.
What happens if background-clip: text is not supported?
The text becomes invisible, because the color is transparent. Wrap the rule in @supports (background-clip: text) or set a solid color fallback first.
Can I use more than two colors?
The tool outputs a two-color linear-gradient at your chosen angle, and you can add stops in the output, such as linear-gradient(90deg, #0ea5e9, #a855f7, #f97316).
