How to use Generate a Gradient Image
- 1. Choose the Gradient type. Pick Linear for a left-to-right blend or Radial for a center-to-edge blend. Linear suits banners and backgrounds, radial suits vignette or spotlight-style effects.
- 2. Set Start color, End color, Width and Height. Pick the two colors the gradient blends between and set the pixel dimensions of the output. The transition runs smoothly from Start color to End color.
- 3. Generate and download. Click generate to render the gradient as a PNG and download it. Every pixel between the two colors is blended proportionally to its position.
When to use Generate a Gradient Image
Generate a Gradient Image creates a linear or radial two-color gradient at any size, useful whenever you need a smooth color transition as a standalone image file rather than a CSS background rule. It fits places CSS gradients cannot reach, like exported graphics or print files.
- Making a background for a video export. A video editor cannot render a live CSS gradient, so exporting a linear gradient as a PNG gives you an image file to use as a static background layer.
- Building a fallback image for email design. Email clients strip out CSS gradients, and generating a radial gradient PNG lets you keep a similar visual effect as a plain embedded image instead.
- Creating a spotlight vignette overlay. A photo needs a subtle darkened edge effect, and a radial gradient from transparent-ish center color to a darker edge color gives you an overlay to composite on top.

About the Generate a Gradient Image tool
Generate a Gradient Image is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Create a linear or radial two-color gradient image at any size. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 200 Image utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 5 settings, including Gradient type, Start color, End color and Width (px), and the result refreshes the moment you change one. The finished file is put together in browser memory and saved with the Download button, so it never touches a server on the way to your disk. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
