How does CSS gradient text work?

Gradient text uses the CSS technique of setting a gradient as the background, then applying background-clip: text and color: transparent so only the text shape reveals the gradient beneath.

Which browsers support gradient text?

All modern browsers support gradient text. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all handle background-clip: text correctly. The -webkit- prefix is included in the generated CSS for maximum compatibility.

Can I animate the gradient?

Yes! Enable the animation toggle to smoothly shift the gradient position using a CSS keyframe animation. You can adjust the animation speed in the generated CSS.

How many color stops can I use?

You can use between 2 and 4 color stops. More stops let you create rainbow effects or complex multi-color transitions.
