What is a Repeating Gradient?

Repeating gradients tile your color sequence infinitely, creating stripes, zebra patterns, and textured backgrounds. Instead of a single gradient transition, the colors repeat at intervals you define—no images needed.

All three gradient types have repeating variants: repeating-linear-gradient, repeating-radial-gradient, and repeating-conic-gradient. Each creates distinct patterns based on the underlying gradient behavior.

Why Use Repeating Gradients?

Repeating gradients eliminate the need for pattern images. Diagonal stripes that would require careful image tiling become a single CSS line. Progress bar indicators, loading states, and decorative textures scale infinitely without pixelation.

They're also animatable. Shift the gradient position to create marquee stripes, pulsing progress indicators, or mesmerizing background animations.

How It Works

The syntax mirrors standard gradients but with explicit stops:

background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #606dbc, #606dbc 10px, #465298 10px, #465298 20px);

The pattern repeats every 20px (the final stop). Hard color transitions at the same position (10px) create clean stripes rather than smooth blends.

Our generator calculates repeating intervals automatically based on your color positions.

Common Use Cases

  • Diagonal striped backgrounds
  • Animated progress indicators
  • Loading bar animations
  • Retro and vintage textures

CSS Example

background: repeating-linear-gradient(45deg, #3498db 0px, #3498db 10px, #2c3e50 10px, #2c3e50 20px);

Pro Tip

Animate repeating gradients by transitioning background-position—creates an infinite scrolling effect.
