Frequently asked questions
Is my gradient safe to use here?
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste or open is sent to a server, and the page keeps no copy after you close it.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Every tool is fully usable without signing in. An account only adds saved favourites and reusable presets.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The interface is mobile-first with large touch targets and a stacked layout, so it works on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
Should I add a fallback background colour?
Yes. Declare a solid background-color first so older browsers and high-contrast modes still show a usable surface, then layer the gradient on top.
How do I keep text readable on a gradient?
Check contrast at both ends of the gradient, not just the average. A subtle dark overlay or a solid text panel is often safer than relying on the gradient itself.
