3

Copy CSS

Copy the generated conic-gradient CSS code.

What Is Conic Gradient Generator?

A conic gradient generator creates CSS gradients that sweep around a center point, transitioning between colors angularly rather than linearly or radially. Conic gradients rotate around a center point, making them perfect for creating color wheels, pie chart-like segments, clock faces, and sweeping color transitions. This tool lets you choose three colors, set the starting angle, and position the center point. The resulting CSS conic-gradient() code creates smooth angular transitions that wrap back to the starting color. Conic gradients are a powerful CSS feature that enables visual effects that would otherwise require SVG or Canvas, keeping your designs pure CSS and GPU-accelerated.

Why Use Our Conic Gradient Generator?

  • Create sweeping angular color transitions impossible with linear/radial gradients
  • Adjustable start angle for rotation control
  • Custom center position for off-center effects
  • Perfect for decorative backgrounds and data visualizations
  • Clean CSS output for production use

Common Use Cases

Color Wheels

Create rainbow color wheel backgrounds using conic gradients.

Pie Charts

Build simple CSS-only pie charts with hard color stops.

Decorative Backgrounds

Create unique angular gradient backgrounds for sections and cards.

Loading Spinners

Design CSS-only loading spinners with conic gradient arcs.

Technical Guide

CSS conic-gradient() creates color transitions around a center point. The syntax is: conic-gradient(from angle at posX posY, color1, color2, ..., color1). The "from" angle rotates the starting position (default 0deg = top). Colors are distributed evenly around the 360° sweep unless explicit angle stops are specified. Repeating the first color as the last stop creates a seamless loop. For pie chart effects, use percentage stops: conic-gradient(red 0% 25%, blue 25% 50%, green 50% 75%, yellow 75%). Conic gradients are supported in Chrome 69+, Firefox 83+, Safari 12.1+, and Edge 79+. They can be masked with border-radius: 50% and combined with mask-image for complex shapes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Repeat the first color as the last stop for seamless circular transitions
  • 2
    Use hard stops (same percentage, two colors) for pie chart segments
  • 3
    Combine with border-radius: 50% for circular color wheel effects
  • 4
    The "from" angle rotates the entire gradient — useful for animated effects
  • 5
    Layer multiple conic gradients for complex patterns

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is a conic gradient?
A conic gradient transitions between colors around a center point, sweeping angularly like a clock hand. It differs from linear (straight line) and radial (outward from center) gradients.
QCan I create pie charts with conic gradients?
Yes! Use hard color stops (two colors at the same percentage) to create sharp segments. For example: conic-gradient(red 0% 30%, blue 30% 70%, green 70%).
QIs conic-gradient well supported?
It is supported in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It is a CSS Images Level 4 feature with broad adoption since 2020.
