What is the Mesh Gradient Generator?
The Mesh Gradient Generator is a free online tool for creating rich, multi-point gradient backgrounds with fluid color blending. Unlike traditional linear or radial gradients, mesh gradients distribute color across multiple anchor points on a surface, producing organic transitions that feel natural and visually striking. This tool lets you place color points, adjust their positions, and fine-tune blending to create the dreamy, soft backgrounds popularized by modern design trends from Apple, Stripe, and Vercel. Output is available as CSS code using layered techniques, SVG for scalable use, or high-resolution PNG images. Perfect for hero sections, app backgrounds, and anywhere you need rich visual depth.
How to Use the Mesh Gradient Generator
- Add color points by choosing colors and positioning them on the canvas.
- Adjust each point's color and blur radius to control how colors blend together.
- Set the background base color to influence the overall mood of the gradient.
- Use Randomize to quickly explore diverse color combinations and layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mesh gradient?
A mesh gradient is a type of gradient that uses multiple color points distributed across a 2D surface, with colors blending smoothly between points. Unlike linear or radial gradients, mesh gradients create complex, organic color transitions that look fluid and natural.
Can I use mesh gradients in CSS?
While CSS doesn't natively support mesh gradients, this tool generates them using layered radial gradients and SVG techniques that work in all modern browsers. You can export as CSS code or as an SVG/PNG image.
How many color points can I add to a mesh gradient?
You can add multiple color points to your mesh gradient, each with its own position and color. More points create richer, more complex color blending. The tool handles the mathematical interpolation automatically.
