How to Use the Image Gradient Generator
This tool allows you to extract colors from an uploaded image, create beautiful gradients, preview them, and download the results in various formats. Here’s a step-by-step guide for users:
1. Upload Your Image
Click on the “Choose File” button.
Select an image from your device (e.g., JPEG, PNG, WebP).
Once uploaded, the tool will process your image and extract the top 5 dominant colors.
2. View Extracted Colors
The extracted colors will appear as color cards in the Color Palette section.
Each card includes:
A color preview box.
The HEX code of the color (e.g., #FF5733).
3. Generate a Gradient
In the Gradient Preview section:
Gradient Direction:
- Horizontal Gradient: Creates a gradient that transitions smoothly from left to right.
- Vertical Gradient: Creates a gradient that transitions smoothly from top to bottom.
- Diagonal Gradient ↘: Creates a gradient that transitions smoothly from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner.
- Diagonal Gradient ↗: Creates a gradient that transitions smoothly from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner.
The gradient will update automatically based on the selected direction and extracted colors.
4. Preview Your Gradient
The preview section allows you to visualize the original image alongside the generated gradient and extracted colors. Here’s what each part displays:
- Original Image: Shows the uploaded image as it is, allowing you to see the source of the gradient and color extraction.
- Generated Gradient: Displays the dynamic gradient created using the colors extracted from the uploaded image. The gradient adapts based on the selected direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal).
- Extracted Colors: A grid of dominant colors extracted from the uploaded image. These colors are used to build the gradient. You can copy any color code directly by clicking on it.
This live preview ensures that you can easily customize and fine-tune the gradient and colors to your requirements.
