What size is the PNG?

1200 × 800 pixels, drawn at that size rather than scaled from the preview. There is no control for changing it.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The image is rendered in the browser on a local canvas and handed to a download link, so the pixels never leave your machine.

Can I export a JPEG or an SVG instead?

Not here — the output is PNG only. The SVG gradient generator produces vector markup if that is what you need.

Does the angle change the file dimensions?

No, the canvas is always the same size; only the direction of the ramp changes. A diagonal angle therefore covers more distance across the same rectangle.

Is the exported PNG transparent?

No — the whole twelve-hundred by eight-hundred rectangle is filled with the ramp, so the file is fully opaque and can be dropped onto any background. A transparent edge would have to be added afterwards in an image editor.

The CSS gradient to image exporter renders your gradient onto a real canvas and downloads it as a 1200 by 800 PNG, with no code to copy and nothing uploaded.

What is CSS Gradient to Image Exporter?

The controls are the standard stop-and-angle set with a live preview; the code panel is replaced by a single action.
A Download PNG button sits beside a note stating the size of the file it produces, and pressing it saves a twelve-hundred by eight-hundred PNG of the gradient shown above.

The generation happens entirely in the page. On click, the tool creates a canvas in memory at the full output size, computes the gradient axis from the current angle, adds one colour stop per entry in the ramp with its position converted into the range the canvas API expects, paints a rectangle covering the surface, and turns the result into a data URL. That is then handed to a download link and triggered. Nothing leaves the browser: there is no upload step, no server round trip and no third party involved, which matters if the gradient is part of unreleased work.

The resolution is fixed at twelve hundred by eight hundred, which is roughly the shape of a wide hero or a presentation slide and comfortably above the size most screenshots and headers need. Because the gradient is rebuilt at that size rather than scaled up from the preview, the result is a clean, smooth surface with no interpolation artefacts — the same reason a gradient is a poor candidate for upscaling an existing bitmap and a good candidate for being drawn fresh at the size you need.

The axis geometry changes shape with the angle even though the canvas dimensions never do: the ramp is drawn along a line stretched to span the whole rectangle in the chosen direction.
A ninety-degree angle therefore produces a strictly horizontal ramp across the width, while a forty-five-degree angle runs corner to corner and covers a longer distance than the width alone.
The result matches how a browser paints the same declaration, so the preview and the file agree.

Where an image is the right deliverable rather than a declaration: an email header, where support for gradients is unreliable and an image is the safe option; a social card or open-graph image; a slide background; a placeholder that has to sit somewhere CSS cannot reach. An exported gradient background image png also removes any dependence on browser gradient rendering, so the file looks identical everywhere it is used.

What it does not offer: no size control, so you take twelve hundred by eight hundred or generate elsewhere; no JPEG or WebP output; no transparent variant, since the gradient fills the frame; and no SVG export, which is the other vector route and lives on its own page here. It also only exports a linear gradient, in keeping with the rest of this cluster. Within those bounds, when the question is how to go from a css gradient to image file with as few steps as possible, this is one button: pick the colours, choose the angle, and download gradient image as a png. Converting a CSS gradient to an image by hand usually means recreating it in a graphics editor; here the browser does the rendering, so gradient to png is a single click and there is no redrawing to get out of step with the original. If the task is to export gradient as image for an email or a slide, that is exactly the workflow this page supports.

How to use CSS Gradient to Image Exporter

Set the stop colours and positions, then choose the angle.
Check the preview, remembering the exported file is drawn at the same angle and proportions.

When to use CSS Gradient to Image Exporter vs related tools

Use this when the gradient has to exist as a file — email headers, social cards, slide backgrounds, places where CSS gradients are unreliable. Use the CSS or SVG exporters when the gradient can stay a declaration or vector markup. When it is allowed to stay a declaration, the gradient to CSS exporter hands it back in three stylesheet forms; when it should stay vector, the SVG gradient generator writes the markup instead.
