Quick Start

Build the base gradient texture background

This gradient texture generator creates a CSS gradient texture background by stacking grayscale overlays above a colored base layer.

  • Choose a palette first, because the base gradient or solid base color comes from those colors
  • Switch Base layer between a random linear gradient and a solid color
  • Use Pattern mode to focus on radial texture layers, linear texture layers, or a mixed gradient texture background

Shape the hard-edge background texture

The texture comes from abrupt grayscale stops, so this tool is useful when you want a hard-edge background or a hard edge texture background instead of a soft blur.

  • Radial layers add circular hard-edge background texture shapes
  • Linear layers add directional hard-edge background bands
  • Alpha range controls how visible each hard-edge texture layer feels against the base

Randomize with seed, then recolor

The Seed decides the layout of the gradient texture background.

  • Randomize until the hard-edge background pattern feels right
  • Adjust Hue and Lightness to recolor the same structure without losing the texture layout
  • Keep the same seed when you want consistent hard-edge background variations

Copy CSS or refine it elsewhere

When the gradient texture background is ready, copy the CSS, download an image, or open it in the editor for more layer control.
