About — Gradient Background Generator (FreeToolC)
This tiny tool creates beautiful linear and radial gradient backgrounds and lets you download them as high-resolution PNG or JPG files. It's fast, responsive, and free to use on FreeToolC.
How to use — Step by step
- Choose two colors: Click the Color 1 and Color 2 pickers to set your gradient start and end colors.
- Select gradient type: Choose Linear or Radial depending on the look you want.
- Pick direction: For linear gradients pick direction (Left→Right, Top→Bottom, diagonal, etc.).
- Set canvas size: From the Canvas Size dropdown choose preview or final download size (e.g., 1080×1080 or 1920×1080).
- Preview: The preview updates instantly. Use the preview box to verify the look and aspect ratio.
- Use presets or randomize: Click any preset to apply a professionally-selected color pair or press Random to try new palettes.
- Download: Click Download PNG or Download JPG to export the full-resolution file for your chosen canvas size.
Quick examples
- Create an Instagram post: choose
1080×1080, pick "Violet Mist", and download PNG. - Make a vertical phone wallpaper: pick
1080×1920and a "Dreamy" preset, then download JPG.
Tips & best practices
- Use PNG for high-quality images with no compression artifacts; use JPG for smaller file size.
- Set canvas size to the final output resolution to avoid upscaling later (e.g., 1920×1080 for HD backgrounds).
- Try subtle color differences for soft, modern gradients; use high-contrast colors for bold effects.
- For web usage, export 1920×1080 or 2560×1440; for mobile wallpapers export 1080×1920.
Accessibility
Controls are keyboard accessible and labelled. We recommend providing accessible text overlays if you place text on top of bright gradients — check text contrast using any contrast checker before publishing.
