Image to CSS Gradient

Image to Gradient Overview

Analyze an image’s main colors and transition to produce a CSS gradient that approximates its look. Useful for turning a photo or design into ready-to-use background gradient code.

This tool lets you upload an image and get automatic or region-based color and direction extraction, then output linear-gradient(...) CSS that you can copy into your project or tweak further.

How to Use

Upload Image

Select or drag an image (e.g. landscape, gradient mockup); the tool analyzes dominant colors and overall direction. Preview shows the original and the generated gradient.

Review and Adjust Gradient

Check the generated gradient CSS and preview; if the tool allows, change the number of stops, colors, positions, or angle to better match the image or your layout.

Copy CSS

When satisfied, copy the linear-gradient(...) or radial-gradient(...) code into your stylesheet or inline styles for use as a background or accent.

FAQ

Why doesn’t the gradient match the image well?

The algorithm usually picks main colors and a simple direction; complex images are hard to represent with few stops. Try cropping to a clearly gradient region or add stops and adjust positions manually.

Is radial gradient supported?

Depends on the tool; if only linear is output, use it as a reference and convert to radial-gradient in your CSS with the desired center and shape.

Is the image uploaded to a server?

If analysis runs in the browser (e.g. Canvas sampling), the image stays local; if a cloud API is used, it may be uploaded. See this site’s privacy policy.
