What is a CSS Gradient?

A CSS gradient is a smooth color transition generated entirely in CSS - no images needed. linear-gradient() transitions colors along a straight line at any angle. radial-gradient() radiates outward from a center point. Both render at any resolution and have zero file size overhead. Gradients are used everywhere in modern UI: hero backgrounds, card overlays, button fills, text effects, and decorative borders. You can stack multiple gradient layers using comma-separated values for complex mesh and duotone effects.
