Mesh Gradient Generator

Interactive drag-and-drop abstract mesh gradients

Design sophisticated mesh gradients by dragging color points on an interactive canvas. Stack radial gradients to create fluid, abstract backgrounds and export production-ready CSS background-image rules instantly.

CSS
background-color: #0a0d12;
background-image:
  radial-gradient(circle at 20% 15%, #ff6b6b 0%, transparent 60%),
  radial-gradient(circle at 80% 25%, #00d9ff 0%, transparent 70%),
  radial-gradient(circle at 30% 75%, #c792ea 0%, transparent 55%),
  radial-gradient(circle at 75% 80%, #f0b429 0%, transparent 65%);

// quick guide

A mesh gradient is a multi-colored background graphic where colors blend fluidly across multiple coordinate points. While traditional gradients flow in a straight line or radial circle, mesh gradients allow you to drag nodes to build abstract, organic, and dynamic design patterns.

How to use this tool:

  • Click on the control handles on the canvas and drag them to position the color nodes.
  • Click on a handle and use the color picker to change the color of that specific node.
  • Adjust the opacity and blend properties to smooth the color transitions.
  • Copy the generated CSS background-image code, which uses multiple stacked radial gradients to achieve the organic blending effect.

// frequently asked questions

How does the tool generate mesh gradients in CSS?

Pure CSS does not support true mesh coordinates. The tool simulates a mesh gradient by creating multiple layered radial CSS gradients positioned at different coordinate percentages on the background canvas, blending them together using alpha transparency.

Is the generated CSS compatible with all modern browsers?

Yes. Stacked radial gradients are fully supported by all modern browsers. It does not require any heavy canvas rendering or external images.

Can I use these gradients as page backgrounds?

Yes. Copy the generated <code>background-image</code> declaration and apply it to any block-level element in your stylesheet to use it as a fluid, modern background.
