Mesh Gradient Generator — Aurora / Blob Gradient Backgrounds in CSS

In short: the Mesh Gradient Generator layers four soft radial-gradient blobs over a base colour — the aurora look of modern app backgrounds — and exports it as pure CSS with no image files.

Mesh gradients make flat pages feel alive, but hand-writing four layered radial-gradients is misery. Drag the blobs here, copy two CSS lines, done.

Several soft radial gradients ("blobs") layered over a base colour. Move each blob, resize its glow, recolour it.

Private by design: everything in this tool happens 100% in your browser with JavaScript. Your data, photos and designs are never uploaded to a server, never stored and never seen by us - close the tab and everything is gone.

How to use the Mesh Gradient Generator

  1. Recolour the base — it shows wherever blobs fade out.
  2. For each blob: pick its colour, position (x/y) and glow size.
  3. Copy the CSS. The background-color line paints the base; background-image stacks the blobs.

How it works

Each blob is a radial-gradient positioned by percentage with a transparent falloff; stacking them over a solid base produces the mesh. Because it is pure CSS, the background scales to any screen with zero image weight.

Worked example

A portfolio site’s hero goes from plain dark to a teal-gold aurora that echoes the owner’s logo — two lines of CSS, no image downloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mesh vs regular gradient?

A linear gradient blends along one line. A mesh blends several colour pools in two dimensions — softer, more organic, more "aurora".

Will it slow my page?

No — it is pure CSS rendering, no image files at all.

Can I add more blobs?

Four blobs cover most designs. The exported CSS pattern is easy to extend by copying a radial-gradient term.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — percentage positioning makes it fully responsive.
