How to use these gradient backgrounds
Every gradient on this page is generated by a real-time shader, not a flat CSS fill — so it carries depth, grain, and motion you can’t get from a two-stop linear gradient. Open one and it becomes a starting point: change the palette, slow or speed the animation, shift the grain, and set the aspect ratio for wherever it’s going.
A still PNG drops straight behind a website hero, a slide, a social post, or a phone and desktop wallpaper. The animated export — MP4 or WebM, up to 4K — works as a video background, a looping product backdrop, or a video-call background. Make yours in Gradient Lab.
