Gradient Animation Best Practices

🎨 Keep It Subtle

Subtle animations work better than dramatic ones. Use gentle transitions for professional results.

⚖️ Consider Performance

CSS animations are more performant than JavaScript. Use them for smooth, efficient animations.

🎯 Test on Different Devices

Ensure your animations work well on various screen sizes and devices for consistent user experience.

♿ Respect User Preferences

Consider users who prefer reduced motion. Use prefers-reduced-motion media query when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Select your colors, choose animation type (flow, pulse, rotate, or wave), set speed and direction, and the tool generates CSS animation code. The preview shows the animation in real-time.

Choose from flow (smooth color movement), pulse (breathing effect), rotate (spinning colors), or wave (undulating motion). Each creates different visual effects for dynamic backgrounds.

Yes! Adjust the animation duration slider to make animations faster or slower. Speeds range from 1 second (fast) to 10 seconds (slow), giving you complete control over the animation tempo.

CSS animations are hardware-accelerated and perform well on modern devices. However, use animations sparingly and test on mobile devices to ensure smooth performance.

The generated CSS includes animation controls. You can add `animation-play-state: paused` in your CSS or use JavaScript to control playback based on user interaction or viewport visibility.

CSS animations work in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). For older browsers, the gradient displays as a static background, ensuring graceful degradation.
