- Pick your colors. Tap a swatch to change it, or add up to five colors. Dark bases with one bright accent and a near-white glow tend to look best.
- Roll the dice. The random gradient button generates a fresh, curated color palette and composition every time. "Reshuffle shape" keeps your colors and only changes the flow.
- Download your gradient. One click gives you a 1920×1080 PNG, ready for slides, social posts, wallpapers and website backgrounds.
Not your average gradient maker
Most gradient generators blend two colors in a straight line. This one renders every gradient with a WebGL shader: the color fields are warped with organic noise, blended in the OKLab color space so transitions stay vivid instead of turning muddy, and finished with subtle film grain. The result is the soft, grainy gradient look you see in modern branding, album art and app design.

Frequently asked questions
Is this gradient generator really free?
Yes. You can generate unlimited gradients and download them as PNG images without creating an account. The full World of Gradients editor, with effects, 5K exports and a save library, is a separate paid app with a free trial.
How do I make a random gradient?
Click the dice button. It generates a fresh color palette and a new composition every time. Keep rolling until you find one you love, then fine-tune the colors by hand.
What resolution is the downloaded gradient?
Downloads are 1920×1080 PNG files, sharp enough for presentations, social posts and website headers. The full editor exports up to 5K with custom aspect ratios.
Can I use the gradients commercially?
Yes. Every gradient you generate here is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, no attribution required.
Why do these gradients look grainy and organic instead of flat?
The generator renders gradients with a WebGL shader that warps the color fields with noise and blends them in the OKLab color space, then adds subtle film grain. That's what gives them the soft, organic look. A plain CSS gradient can't do that. If you do need plain CSS, try the CSS gradient generator.
