Frequently asked questions
Do CSS gradients work in all browsers?
Yes. linear-gradient() and radial-gradient() are supported by every modern browser without prefixes, and conic-gradient() is supported in all current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
What does the angle mean in a linear gradient?
The angle sets the direction the gradient travels: 0deg goes bottom to top, 90deg goes left to right and 180deg goes top to bottom.
Are gradients better than background images?
Usually, yes. Gradients are drawn by the browser, so they add no file size, scale to any resolution and can be changed with a single line of CSS.
