Grainy SVG Gradient Generator
What is a Grainy SVG Gradient Generator?
A grainy SVG gradient generator adds coarse, analog-style grain to color gradients. Instead of smooth digital blends, you get textured gradients that feel more organic and tactile. You pick up to three colors, choose a blend mode, set linear or radial, then tweak granularity, grain opacity, and frequency. The tool uses SVG filters (feTurbulence, feComponentTransfer, feColorMatrix) to create the effect. Output is lightweight SVG—good for backgrounds and hero sections. If rendering becomes heavy, rasterize to JPEG, WebP, or AVIF. The result adds dimension and an analog feel to modern designs.
Features for Designers
An SVG generator that adds organic grain to gradients.
Set color 1, 2, and 3 for the gradient. Oversaturate for vivid results. Full control over the palette.
Normal, soft light, overlay, exclusion. Each gives a different grain and gradient blend.
Choose linear or radial gradient. Adjust angle (linear) or radius (radial) for direction and spread.
Granularity, grain opacity, frequency. Fine-tune how coarse or subtle the grain appears.
Small file size. Uses feTurbulence, feComponentTransfer, feColorMatrix. Can rasterize for performance.
Copy SVG markup or save the file. Use in web projects, CSS backgrounds, or design tools.
How To Create a Grainy Gradient
Build textured gradients in three steps.
Set color 1, 2, and 3. Add oversaturate if desired. Choose blend mode and linear or radial.
Adjust granularity, grain opacity, and frequency. Angle or radius for gradient direction.
Copy the SVG or save the file. Use as background. Rasterize if performance is a concern.
Tips for Grainy Gradients
Get the most out of the generator.
Soft light and overlay add subtle grain. Exclusion for more contrast. Experiment to find the right feel.
Higher granularity = coarser grain. Lower for subtler texture. Match to your layout density.
If SVG filters slow things down, export to JPEG/WebP/AVIF for smoother rendering.
Great For Designers and Developers
Who benefits from grainy gradients?
Hero sections, cards, and section backgrounds with organic texture.
Add tactile feel to interfaces. Less flat, more analog.
Copy SVG for CSS background-image. Lightweight, scalable.
Gradient textures for presentations and marketing assets.
Why Use a Grainy Gradient Generator?
Organic texture without heavy assets.
Coarse grain adds tactile, non-digital texture.
SVG is small. Vector-based. Scales to any size.
Colors, blend modes, grain. Tweak until it fits.
Use as SVG or rasterize to JPEG/WebP/AVIF for performance.
Technical Details
How the generator works.
feTurbulence, feComponentTransfer, feColorMatrix. Inspired by CSS-Tricks grainy gradient techniques.
3 colors, oversaturate. Blend: normal, soft light, overlay, exclusion. Linear/radial. Angle, radius. Granularity, grain opacity, frequency.
Lightweight SVG. Can be CPU-intensive; rasterize for heavy use.
