What does CSS Gradient Builder actually do?

The gradient builder emits a CSS linear, radial, or conic gradient from stops you set. It does not optimize the gradient for file size or check contrast of text sitting on it.

When should I use CSS Gradient Builder?

Use it to get a background-image value you can paste into a stylesheet.

When should I not use CSS Gradient Builder?

Do not use the preview as a contrast audit.

What does CSS Gradient Builder not do?
