Gradient syntax
MDN describes CSS gradients as generated images made from progressive transitions between two or more colors. The exported value can be used in `background` or `background-image`.
| Type | CSS function | Useful for |
|---|---|---|
| Linear | `linear-gradient()` | Section backgrounds, buttons, overlays |
| Radial | `radial-gradient()` | Glow effects, vignettes, soft focal points |
| Conic | `conic-gradient()` | Color wheels, circular accents, decorative rings |
Readability limits
The generator exports CSS only. It does not export PNG/JPG files or guarantee that a gradient will be accessible behind body text.
