Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between linear-gradient and radial-gradient in CSS?
A linear-gradient transitions colors along a straight line at a specified angle (such as 135deg), whereas a radial-gradient radiates colors outward from a central origin point in a circle or ellipse.
Do modern browsers still need -webkit- vendor prefixes for CSS gradients?
No. Standard unprefixed linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() syntax has been supported across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge for over a decade.
Can I use CSS gradients on text?
Yes. Apply the generated background gradient to your text element alongside 'background-clip: text; -webkit-background-clip: text; color: transparent;'.
