How to Use the Gradient Border CSS Generator

2 Adjust the gradient angle with the direction slider.
3 Set the border width, border radius, and padding.

CSS doesn't natively support gradient borders with the border property. This generator uses the background-image trick: it layers two backgrounds — a solid background-color clipped to the padding-box, and a gradient clipped to the border-box. With a transparent border, the gradient shows through where the border would be, creating the gradient border effect.

The generated CSS uses the background-clip property with two values: padding-box for the solid background and border-box for the gradient. This technique works in all modern browsers. The border must be set to transparent so the gradient background shows through. Adjust the angle to change the gradient direction — 0° goes bottom to top, 90° goes left to right, and 135° creates a diagonal.
