Quick Start: Generate Basic Gradients

  1. Open the "Gradient Generator" tool on HeronTool.
  2. Choose two end colors (click color swatches or enter hex values), or pick from presets.
  3. Adjust the gradient angle (e.g., 0° horizontal, 90° vertical) and curve style (linear, radial, ease).
  4. Click "Preview" to see the result, then "Copy CSS" or "Download Image".

Creating Gradient Text

  1. Use HeronTool's "Gradient Text" tool.
  2. Enter your text in the input box, set font, size, and weight.
  3. Select gradient colors (similar to the generator) – add multiple color stops for complex transitions.
  4. Adjust text shadow or stroke for depth; preview and export as PNG or SVG.

Tips for Smoother Gradients

  • Avoid colors with large hue distances (e.g., red to green); choose adjacent colors on the color wheel.
  • Use an "ease" curve instead of linear for gentler transitions.
  • In the Gradient Generator, enable the "anti-aliasing" option to reduce banding.
