InstantGradient

InstantGradient creates animated mesh gradients instantly, letting users explore an endless set of color palettes. By pressing the spacebar a new harmonious gradient appears, and individual colors can be locked while the rest shuffle, enabling rapid discovery of appealing combinations. Users can adjust distortion, swirl, scale, grain, and add effects such as fluted glass, with changes reflected in real‑time previews.

The tool supports exporting gradients as PNG, WebP, animated video, or as code snippets for CSS, Tailwind, SCSS, and React/JS shaders. Palettes can be saved, copied in hex, JSON, or CSS variables, and exported in various aspect ratios. A REST API provides programmatic access to palette generation, color lookup, and community data, with a free tier offering up to 5 colors per palette and limited daily requests.

Designed for designers, developers, and anyone needing ready‑to‑use gradient assets, InstantGradient offers a free tier with basic functionality and a paid option that adds higher‑resolution exports, video output, unlimited palettes, and additional API capacity. No account or credit card is required to start creating.
