Hello and welcome back friends to the CodingTuting with Jignesh Panchal. I hope you like our last post Lets get started.


What is the CSS Gradient?

Gradients are the combination of multiple colors that display a smooth transition between all selected colors.

And we'll select 3 colors for the background and 4 colors for the heading. All 3 backgrounds move from left to right and right to left which gives a beautiful CSS background effect. The same work has done for the heading.

CSS Gradient Background Animation and Source Code

As you know, I always give a summary of the source code before share it. See How I did this? Don't be hurry for source code.

I'm using Google Fonts in my code. You can use it too or any others as you like.


  • I take a title in <h1> tag and placed it in an <div>
  • I aligned center from vertically and horizontally using CSS Flex.
  • I gave a gradient background with 3 colors to the title. Then increase the size of background 400%
  • Defined a @keyframe animation for changing the background-position.
  • Finally, apply that animation in the <h1> with infinity time.
