# CSS Gradient Generator

> Generate CSS gradient code for linear, radial, and conic gradients with live preview, color stops, and preset templates.

## What does this tool do?

The CSS Gradient Generator creates CSS gradient property values from visual controls:

- **Linear gradients**: Configure angle (0-360 degrees) and color stops
- **Radial gradients**: Choose circle or ellipse shape with color stops
- **Conic gradients**: Set starting angle with color stops
- **Repeating**: Toggle repeating modifier for any gradient type
- **Color stops**: Add up to 8 color stops, each with a color picker and position slider (0-100%)
- **Presets**: Quick-load from 6 preset gradients (Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Neon, Warm, Cool)
