How many color stops does each random gradient have?

Each generated gradient has 2 to 4 color stops placed at evenly spaced positions. You can adjust any stop color individually using the color pickers below the preview.

Can I keep my angle and randomize only the colors?

Yes. Use "Shuffle Colors" to regenerate only the gradient colors while keeping your chosen angle and gradient type intact.

What CSS does the Copy button produce?

It copies a complete CSS property declaration such as "background: linear-gradient(135deg, #a855f7 0%, #ec4899 100%);" that you can paste directly into any stylesheet.

Does this work for radial gradients too?

Yes. Switch the type to Radial and click Generate or Shuffle to get a radial-gradient() declaration. Radial gradients emit from the center and the angle control is hidden since it does not apply.

Are the generated colors truly random?

Colors are generated using Math.random() to produce random hex values. Results vary on every click and are not seeded, so every session gives fresh palettes.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser. No gradient data, colors, or CSS output is ever sent to any server.
