How it works

Four steps

  1. 1

    Start from a preset

    Aurora, sunset, indie brand, editorial — four starting points for the most-used looks.

  2. 2

    Drag the blobs

    Each blob is a radial gradient from one Tailwind color to transparent. Move them, resize them, recolor them.

  3. 3

    Pick a background

    Dark backgrounds blend additively; light backgrounds use source-over for a softer composite.

  4. 4

    Export

    iPhone / iPad wallpaper, Instagram, OG, 1080p, 4K. Pick sizes, download as a ZIP.

Questions

Frequently asked

What's a mesh gradient?+

A gradient produced by overlapping several radial color fields — the style Stripe, Linear, and Arc popularised on their landing pages. Unlike a linear gradient with two stops, meshes read as soft, atmospheric, multi-hue.

Why does it look better on dark backgrounds?+

This tool uses additive blending on dark backgrounds (like Photoshop's Screen mode) which brightens overlap regions. Light backgrounds keep source-over blending so the blobs read as pigment rather than light.

Can I export as SVG?+

Not yet. SVG mesh gradients aren't well supported in browsers — the result renders inconsistently across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. PNG gives you a reliable, shareable file.

How many blobs is too many?+

Three to six is the sweet spot. Fewer feels sparse; more gets muddy. The tool caps at six to keep outputs crisp.
