Every Web Designer Should Know These 13 Beautiful Gradient Tools 💯👍

The use of gradients is common in modern web design. We see them everywhere from hero backgrounds to illustrations, text colors, borders, hover animations, and many more.

Creating them directly in CSS might take a lot of time and would require some knowledge of how different types of gradients are constructed.
