Frequently asked questions
What resolution is the downloaded gradient?
The gradient is generated and downloaded at 1200×800 pixels, which is suitable for social media posts, slide backgrounds, and web banners. For larger sizes, consider using the Image Resizer tool after downloading.
Is the gradient generator free?
Yes — completely free and unlimited. No signup, no account, no watermark, no daily limit.
Can I use the gradient for commercial projects?
Yes. Gradients generated here are entirely your own creation — there are no copyright restrictions on geometric colour fills.
What is the difference between a linear gradient and a radial gradient?
A linear gradient fades from one colour to another along a straight line at a chosen angle. A radial gradient fades from the centre outward in a circular pattern — great for a glow or spotlight look. Use the Radial Gradient Generator tool for circular gradients.
