About CSS Gradient Text
Create eye-catching gradient text effects using CSS. Perfect for headings, titles, and hero sections. The gradient text effect uses CSS linear gradients with background-clip to create colorful, modern text.
How It Works:
The technique uses these CSS properties:
- background: Creates a linear gradient
- background-clip: text; Clips the background to the text shape
- text-fill-color: transparent; Makes the text transparent to reveal gradient
- display: inline-block; Ensures gradient fits text width
Common Uses:
- Hero section headings and titles
- Logo text and branding
- Call-to-action buttons and links
- Section headers and highlights
- Landing page headlines
- Creative portfolio titles
Best Practices:
- Use bold or heavy font weights for better visibility
- Ensure sufficient contrast between gradient colors
- Test on different backgrounds and screen sizes
- Don't overuse - save for important headings
- Consider fallback for older browsers
- Use larger font sizes (24px+) for best effect
Performance Tips:
- Gradient text is GPU-accelerated in modern browsers
- No performance impact on page load
- Better than using images for gradient text
- SEO-friendly (text remains readable by search engines)
