Does this generate both Tailwind classes and plain CSS?
Yes. You can copy the utility-class version for Tailwind projects and the CSS version for plain stylesheets, design handoff, or debugging.

How this gradient generator is useful
Building gradients by hand is repetitive: choose the direction, test the stops, preview the blend, then translate it into classes and CSS. This generator keeps that whole loop in one place.
It is useful for hero backgrounds, cards, buttons, badges, callouts, and any Tailwind UI where you want a quick visual gradient without trial-and-error in the editor.
Frequently asked questions
When should I use a two-stop gradient versus a three-stop gradient?
Two stops are cleaner and usually better for simple buttons or compact surfaces. Add a middle stop when you want a richer blend or a more noticeable color transition across a larger area.
Should I review the generated code before using it in production?
Yes. These generators are built for speed and iteration, but you should still review the final classes or CSS against your design system, responsive breakpoints, and accessibility requirements.
