FAQ

Comparing gradient resources

?Should I choose CSS, mesh, or WebGL output?

Use the output your project can render. CSS fits ordinary backgrounds; mesh and WebGL resources may require images, scripts, or a rendering integration.

?How do I check an animated gradient before adopting it?

Inspect motion, readability, and the integration format on the provider’s site. A preview alone does not show the cost of embedding it in your page.
