Expert Knowledge: CSS Gradient Generator — Free Visual Gradient Builder with Code Copy
CSS gradients are defined in the W3C CSS Images Module Level 3 and were first introduced in WebKit in 2011. conic-gradient was added in CSS Images Module Level 4 in 2018 and is now supported by all major browsers. Since gradients are CSS functions rather than actual image files, they require no network requests — a performance advantage. Combined with background-size, they can produce complex patterns like checkerboards.
