How to Animate CSS Gradients

The CSS Gradient Animator is a professional developer tool designed to generate smooth, GPU-accelerated animated backgrounds. Whether you need a continuous looping pan, a back-and-forth bounce, or dynamic hue rotations, this tool outputs production-ready code.

Does this support Tailwind CSS?

Yes. You can export your gradient animation directly as a Tailwind configuration. The tool provides the necessary keyframes and animation extensions for your tailwind.config.js, alongside the utility classes needed for your markup.

Can I use this in React?

Absolutely. Select the React Inline export format to instantly generate a fully functional React component (.jsx or .tsx) complete with scoped inline keyframes and styles.

How do I use the Standard CSS?

The Standard CSS export provides a robust, dependency-free solution. It generates a scoped wrapper, the core animated gradient properties, and the precise @keyframes needed for hardware-accelerated movement. Simply copy and paste it into any standard stylesheet.

Is SCSS (Sass) supported?

Yes. The SCSS export maps your selected palette to localized variables and leverages native Sass nesting for a cleaner architecture. This ensures the @keyframes and animations are perfectly scoped to your container for modular integration.

What does "View Code" do?

The View Code button opens an inline editor displaying the exact CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, or React code required to render your current gradient animation. You can quickly copy this directly to your clipboard.

What is the .HTML export?

The .HTML button instantly generates and downloads a complete, standalone index.html file containing your gradient animation. This is perfect for quick prototyping, testing in the browser, or sharing an isolated demo.
