What is a Radial Gradient?

A radial gradient creates a smooth color transition that radiates outward from a center point. Unlike linear gradients that follow a straight line, radial gradients spread in all directions, creating circular or elliptical patterns.

Shape and Position Control

Our tool gives you full control over your radial gradients:

  • Choose between circle and ellipse shapes
  • Set custom center position (X/Y percentages)
  • Add multiple color stops for complex effects
  • Export in multiple formats (CSS, PNG, SVG)

Popular Use Cases

  • Spotlight and vignette effects
  • Circular button backgrounds
  • Radial backgrounds for cards
  • Sunburst and glow effects
  • Planet and sphere illustrations
