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 on how different types of gradients are constructed. 

To help you out in this article I compiled some of my favorite gradient makers. I will provide you with the direct link to the tools, give you a concise description of it as well as include the screenshot of the tool, so you can get an initial impression on the fly.
