Gradient Lab
Free shader-based gradients for hero sections and backgrounds
Product Overview
Gradient Lab by Backgrounds Supply is a free, browser-based gradient generator that goes beyond classic linear and radial fades. It uses shader effects to produce rich, organic gradients — flowing color fields, grain, and light — ideal for hero sections, social cards, and app backgrounds. Choose from over 20 shader presets, tweak colors and parameters live, and export your result as a PNG image, a video, or directly embed it via HTML/CSS. Everything runs in the browser, with no sign-up needed. The tool is part of the Backgrounds Supply family, a collection of free background generators and tools for designers and developers.
