CSS | Combine background image with gradient overlay
CSS gradients allow us to display smooth transitions between two or more colours. They can be added on top of the background image by simply combining the background-image URL and gradient properties.
Syntax:
- For linear-gradient on top of the Background Image:
element {
background-image: linear-gradient(direction,
color-stop1, color-stop2, ...), url('url');
}- For radial-gradient on top of the Background Image:
element {
background-image: radial-gradient(direction,
color-stop1, color-stop2, ...), url('url');
}Below are examples illustrating the above approach:
Example 1: Background image with the linear gradient.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <title>Background Image with Linear Gradient</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href= <style> .my_bg { background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(245,70,66, 0.75), rgba(8,83,156, 0.75)), url( width: 100%; height: 280px; text-align: center; color: #fff; } </style></head><body> <div class="my_bg"> <h3>This is my background!</h3> </div></body></html> |
Output:
Example 2: Background image with the radial gradient.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <title>Background Image with Radial Gradient</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <link rel="stylesheet" href= <style> .my_bg { background-image: radial-gradient( rgba(255, 49, 3, 0.896), rgba(251, 255, 0, 0.75)), url( width: 100%; height: 250px; text-align: center; } </style></head><body> <div class="my_bg"> <h4>This is my background!</h4> </div></body></html> |
