Gradient Border Generator

Generate gradient borders using CSS border-image or masking tricks. Customize stops, angles, widths, and instantly copy the CSS snippet.

How to use this tool

  1. Pick a rendering technique (`border-image` or mask-based cutout).
  2. Adjust gradient type, stops, border width/radius, and background styling.
  3. Copy the generated CSS and apply it to your component markup.

Technique choices

  • `border-image` offers broad support with minimal markup.
  • Mask technique gives cleaner rounded cutouts on complex backgrounds.
  • Choose based on browser support requirements and visual fidelity needs.

Implementation notes

  • Use well-spaced color stops to avoid abrupt transition banding.
  • Validate contrast between border gradients and inner content backgrounds.
  • When using mask mode, keep Safari prefix support in your stylesheet.
