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)
