How CSS Gradient Text Works

Technique: Set a gradient as the element's background, then clip it to the text shape with background-clip: text and hide the original text colour using -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent.

Browser support: All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). The -webkit-background-clip prefix is still required for Safari.

Linear vs Radial: Linear gradients flow at any angle. Radial gradients radiate outward from the centre — useful for glowing or spotlight effects.

Mid colour: Enable "Add mid colour" to insert a third colour stop between start and end, creating richer three-tone gradients.

Tip: Gradient text is most impactful with bold, large fonts. Use font-weight: bold or a heavy typeface like Impact for maximum visibility.
