Animated Gradient Generator

Design moving gradient backgrounds with plain CSS. Tune colors, angle, duration, and background scale, then copy production-ready keyframes.

.animated-gradient {
  background: linear-gradient(120deg, #6366f1, #ec4899, #06b6d4);
  background-size: 300% 300%;
  animation: aifolder-gradient 8s ease infinite;
}

@keyframes aifolder-gradient {
  0% { background-position: 0% 50%; }
  50% { background-position: 100% 50%; }
  100% { background-position: 0% 50%; }
}

About the Animated Gradient Generator

Generate a moving gradient background with standard CSS. The preview uses background-position animation, so the exported code does not require JavaScript.

    Adjust the direction of the linear gradient.

  3. 3

    Copy the keyframes

    Copy the class and @keyframes block into your stylesheet.

Animated gradient questions

Does the animation need JavaScript?

No. The generated result uses CSS background-position and @keyframes.

Can I slow the motion down?

Yes. Increase the duration value to make the gradient move more slowly.

Should I respect reduced-motion preferences?

Yes. For production interfaces, consider disabling or reducing decorative animation inside a prefers-reduced-motion media query.

FAQ

animated gradient generator questions

?Why can an animated gradient affect readability?

The colors behind text change over time. Inspect the entire animation, then choose text and background combinations that remain readable throughout.

?Should I use continuous motion everywhere?

Use animation selectively and provide a reduced-motion alternative in the site where you use the output. A static gradient may suit text-heavy sections better.
