White hex codes

A white gradient is really a gradient of shadow: the white stays constant and the interest comes from how the light falls off into silver and pale gray. Done right it gives a design depth while staying essentially white, which is why these backgrounds work so well behind product shots and typography.

The film grain is essential here. On near-white surfaces, grain reads as paper texture, which is the difference between a considered background and a blank div. Cool grays keep these feeling clean and gallery-like.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a white gradient that isn't just blank?

Gradient the shadow, not the white: run from pure #FFFFFF into soft silvers like #ECEEF1 and #C9CCD3, and add fine grain for texture. That keeps the background white while giving it visible depth.

Are these white backgrounds free to download?

Yes. Every white gradient on this page is free to download in HD, for personal and commercial projects, no attribution and no account needed.

What resolution are the downloads?

You can download each gradient as a 1920x1080 desktop image or a 1290x2796 phone wallpaper, rendered on the spot at full quality. The full World of Gradients editor also exports up to 5K with custom sizes.

Can I customize a white gradient?

Yes. Use the dice on this page to generate endless white variations, or open any gradient in the editor to fine-tune the colors, grain, contrast and effects.

What goes well on a white gradient background?

Everything; that is the point. Black typography and colorful product shots both sit perfectly on it. For a warmer feel, try the cream gradients instead; for more contrast, the grey family.
