What CSS property do I use for a gradient?

Use background or background-image: background: linear-gradient(direction, colour1, colour2). Avoid background-color — it does not accept gradient values.

Does the generated code need vendor prefixes?

No. Modern CSS gradient syntax (without -webkit- or -moz- prefixes) is supported in all current browsers. Vendor prefixes are only needed for very old browser support (IE9 and below).

Can I use the generated CSS in Tailwind or Styled Components?

Yes. The generated CSS is standard CSS. In Tailwind, use it in a custom utility class or in the style attribute. In Styled Components, use it directly inside your template literal.

Can I use gradients as a border?

Yes, using border-image or background-clip: text. See the CSS Gradient Border intent page for examples.

What is the background shorthand vs background-image for gradients?

Both work for gradients. background is the shorthand property that can accept gradient values. background-image is more explicit. If you use background shorthand, other background properties like background-size are reset unless also specified in the shorthand.
