Gradient Borders

You can create a border from a gradient function by first defining the gradient function as either a linear or radial gradient. The gradient can then be sliced using the border-image style in the same way that an image file can be sliced to generate the sides and corners of the border image.

Use the web form below to enter a gradient function and define the border image slices. The first preview box shows a preview of the gradient. The second preview box shows how slices from that gradient will be applied to create a gradient border.
