Gradient-filled headlines have become a signature look across modern landing pages, but the CSS behind it — background-clip: text plus a transparent fill color — isn’t obvious if you’ve never used the trick before, and it’s easy to miss a needed vendor prefix. This tool builds it visually and hands you clean, copy-paste-ready CSS.
