In this article, I will show you a couple of ways to get gradient text using CSS (and some without CSS). You may already be familiar with one of the methods.
HTML for method - 1, 2 and 3
<h1>Sub to Axorax on YT!</h1>
Method - 1 (CSS)
h1 {
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#e28bfc, #8bb8fc);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
}
Method - 2 (CSS)
h1 {
background: linear-gradient(#e28bfc, #8bb8fc);
background-clip: text;
color: transparent;
}
Method - 3 (CSS clip-path)
h1 {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
h1::before {
content: "Sub to Axorax on YT!";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: linear-gradient(#e28bfc, #8bb8fc);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
color: transparent;
clip-path: text;
}
Method - 4 (SVG)
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<defs>
<linearGradient id="gradient" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="0%">
<stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#e28bfc;stop-opacity:1" />
<stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#8bb8fc;stop-opacity:1" />
</linearGradient>
</defs>
<text x="10" y="50" font-size="72" fill="url(#gradient)">Gradient Text</text>
</svg>
Method - 5 (HTML canvas)
<canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="200"></canvas>
<script>
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.font = '3rem sans-serif';
const gradient = ctx.createLinearGradient(0, 0, canvas.width, 0);
gradient.addColorStop(0, '#e28bfc');
gradient.addColorStop(1, '#8bb8fc');
ctx.fillStyle = gradient;
ctx.fillText('Sub to Axorax on YT!', 10, 100);
</script>
Hope you found something useful!
