How It Works

Type any text

Enter a name, email, title, UUID, or any string. The gradient updates instantly.

Deterministic output

The same text always produces the same gradient. Different text produces different gradients. Great for consistent visual identity.

Export

Copy the CSS code for your project, or download as a PNG at your chosen resolution.

FAQ

Theoretically possible (hash collision), but extremely unlikely for normal inputs. Even small changes like 'hello' vs 'Hello' produce completely different gradients.

Yes. Since the same input always produces the same output, it's perfect for generating consistent avatar backgrounds from usernames or emails. Need to fine-tune the exact colors? Use the color converter to explore palettes.
