## What is CSS Gradient Generator?

CSS Gradient Generator is a free developer utility from Farvixo that lets you design studio for gradients — AI prompt, image palette extraction, mesh/aurora/noise types, animation & 6 export formats. Your input is processed locally in the browser — nothing is sent to a server, which matters when the payload is a token, a config file or production data. Free, unlimited, no sign-up.

## How to use CSS Gradient Generator

1. **Paste your code or data** — Paste your snippet into CSS Gradient Generator. It stays on your device, which matters when you are handling tokens, config or production data.
2. **Run it** — CSS Gradient Generator processes the input instantly and points at the exact line when something is malformed, so you can fix it rather than hunt for it.
3. **Copy the output** — Copy the result to your clipboard or download it. Free, unlimited and no sign-up.

## Use cases

- Inspecting or reformatting an API payload while debugging
- Decoding a token or encoded value without pasting it into an unknown website
- Generating test data or identifiers during development
- Validating a config file before it is committed or deployed

## Tips

- Because processing is local, it is safe to paste real credentials or production payloads here — nothing is transmitted or logged.
- When parsing fails, the reported line and column point at the first invalid token, which is usually just after the real mistake.
- Bookmark the tool page directly; it loads without an account and works offline once cached.

## Common problems

- **Parsing fails on valid-looking input** — Usually a trailing comma, a smart quote pasted from a document, or an unescaped backslash. Check the reported position first.
- **Output has unexpected whitespace or line endings** — The source used CRLF line endings or a non-breaking space. Normalise the input before processing.
- **Non-English characters come out wrong** — The input was not UTF-8. Re-save the source as UTF-8 and paste it again.

## FAQ

### Which export format should I use?

CSS for web backgrounds — it is resolution-independent and weighs nothing. SVG when you need the gradient as an asset for design tools. PNG only when something cannot render either, since a raster gradient is far larger and cannot scale.

### Why does my gradient look banded?

Bands appear when a gradient spans a long distance with few colour steps, and 8-bit colour cannot represent the intermediate values. Adding a subtle noise overlay hides it — that is exactly what the noise option is for.

### How do I pick colours that work together?

Keep hues close on the colour wheel and vary lightness rather than jumping across the spectrum — that is why sunset gradients look natural and red-to-green does not. Extracting a palette from a photo you like is the fastest shortcut.

### Can I extract a gradient from an image?

Yes. Upload an image and its dominant colours are pulled out as a palette you can then refine. Useful for matching a gradient to a brand or a photograph.

### Can I animate a gradient?

Yes, and the CSS export includes the animation. Keep it slow and subtle — a fast-moving background gradient is distracting and can trigger discomfort for motion-sensitive users.
