## Examples

### Basic example

Use the `bg-[<value>]` syntax to set the background image of an element:

<Figure>

<Example>
  {
    <div className="relative mx-auto flex h-48 w-96 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-lg sm:w-96">
      <div className="h-full w-full bg-[url(https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1554629947-334ff61d85dc?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1000&h=1000&q=80)] bg-cover bg-center bg-no-repeat"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)]] -->
<div class="bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] ..."></div>
```

</Figure>

### Adding a linear gradient

Use utilities like `bg-linear-to-r` and `bg-linear-<angle>` with the [color stop utilities](#setting-gradient-color-stops) to add a linear gradient to an element:

<Figure>

<Example>
  {
    <div className="space-y-4">
      <div className="h-14 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r from-cyan-500 to-blue-500"></div>
      <div className="h-14 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-t from-sky-500 to-indigo-500"></div>
      <div className="h-14 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-bl from-violet-500 to-fuchsia-500"></div>
      <div className="h-14 rounded-lg bg-linear-65 from-purple-500 to-pink-500"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:bg-linear-to-r,bg-linear-to-t,bg-linear-to-bl,bg-linear-65] -->
<div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-r from-cyan-500 to-blue-500"></div>
<div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-t from-sky-500 to-indigo-500"></div>
<div class="h-14 bg-linear-to-bl from-violet-500 to-fuchsia-500"></div>
<div class="h-14 bg-linear-65 from-purple-500 to-pink-500"></div>
```

</Figure>

### Adding a radial gradient

Use the `bg-radial` and `bg-radial-[<position>]` utilities with the [color stop utilities](#setting-gradient-color-stops) to add a radial gradient to an element:

<Figure>

<Example padding={false}>
  {
    <div className="flex justify-around p-8 sm:p-12">
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial from-pink-400 from-40% to-fuchsia-700 sm:size-24"></div>
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_50%_75%] from-sky-200 via-blue-400 to-indigo-900 to-90% sm:size-24"></div>
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_25%_25%] from-white to-zinc-900 to-75% sm:size-24"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:bg-radial-[at_50%_75%],bg-radial-[at_25%_25%],bg-radial] -->
<div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial from-pink-400 from-40% to-fuchsia-700"></div>
<div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_50%_75%] from-sky-200 via-blue-400 to-indigo-900 to-90%"></div>
<div class="size-18 rounded-full bg-radial-[at_25%_25%] from-white to-zinc-900 to-75%"></div>
```

</Figure>

### Adding a conic gradient

Use the `bg-conic` and `bg-conic-<angle>` utilities with the [color stop utilities](#setting-gradient-color-stops) to add a conic gradient to an element:

<Figure>

<Example padding={false}>
  {
    <div className="flex justify-around p-8 sm:p-12">
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-conic from-blue-600 to-sky-400 to-50% sm:size-24"></div>
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-conic-180 from-indigo-600 via-indigo-50 to-indigo-600 sm:size-24"></div>
      <div className="size-18 rounded-full bg-conic/decreasing from-violet-700 via-lime-300 to-violet-700 sm:size-24"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:bg-conic-180,bg-conic/decreasing,bg-conic] -->
<div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic from-blue-600 to-sky-400 to-50%"></div>
<div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic-180 from-indigo-600 via-indigo-50 to-indigo-600"></div>
<div class="size-24 rounded-full bg-conic/decreasing from-violet-700 via-lime-300 to-violet-700"></div>
```

</Figure>

### Setting gradient color stops

Use utilities like `from-indigo-500`, `via-purple-500`, and `to-pink-500` to set the colors of the gradient stops:

<Figure>

<Example>
  {
    <div className="mx-5">
      <div className="relative h-[3.625rem]">
        <div className="absolute top-0 left-px -ml-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-indigo-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
        </div>
        <div className="absolute top-0 left-1/2 -ml-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-purple-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
        </div>
        <div className="absolute top-0 right-px -mr-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-pink-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div className="h-10 rounded-lg bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:from-indigo-500,via-purple-500,to-pink-500] -->
<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 via-purple-500 to-pink-500 ..."></div>
```

</Figure>

### Setting gradient stop positions

Use utilities like `from-10%`, `via-30%`, and `to-90%` to set more precise positions for the gradient color stops:

<Figure>

<Example>
  {
    <div className="mx-5">
      <div className="relative h-[3.625rem]">
        <div className="absolute top-0 left-[10%] -ml-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-indigo-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
          <div className="absolute top-0 left-0 flex h-8 w-full items-center justify-center font-mono text-[0.6875rem] font-semibold tracking-wider text-white">
            10%
          </div>
        </div>
        <div className="absolute top-0 left-[30%] -ml-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-sky-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
          <div className="absolute top-0 left-0 flex h-8 w-full items-center justify-center font-mono text-[0.6875rem] font-semibold tracking-wider text-white">
            30%
          </div>
        </div>
        <div className="absolute top-0 right-[10%] -mr-4 flex h-12 flex-col items-center">
          <svg viewBox="0 0 32 34" className="w-8 flex-none fill-emerald-500 drop-shadow">
            <use href="#gradient-color-stop" />
          </svg>
          <div className="mt-2 h-2 w-0.5 bg-gray-900/30 dark:bg-white/30"></div>
          <div className="absolute top-0 left-0 flex h-8 w-full items-center justify-center font-mono text-[0.6875rem] font-semibold tracking-wider text-white">
            90%
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div className="h-10 rounded-lg bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 from-10% via-sky-500 via-30% to-emerald-500 to-90%"></div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code classes:from-10%,via-30%,to-90%] -->
<div class="bg-gradient-to-r from-indigo-500 from-10% via-sky-500 via-30% to-emerald-500 to-90% ..."></div>
```

</Figure>

### Changing interpolation mode

Use the interpolation modifier to control the interpolation mode of a gradient:

<Figure>

<Example>
  {
    <div>
      <div className="grid grid-cols-1 items-center gap-x-4 gap-y-0 sm:grid-cols-[auto_1fr] sm:gap-y-2">
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">
          srgb
        </p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/srgb from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">hsl</p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/hsl from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">

        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">
          oklch
        </p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/oklch from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">
          longer
        </p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/longer from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">
          shorter
        </p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/shorter from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">
          increasing
        </p>
        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/increasing from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
        <p className="mt-2 font-mono text-xs font-medium text-gray-500 sm:mt-0 sm:text-right dark:text-gray-400">

        <div className="mt-1 h-12 rounded-lg bg-linear-to-r/decreasing from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
      </div>
    </div>
  }
</Example>

```html
<!-- [!code word:/srgb] -->

<div class="bg-linear-to-r/decreasing from-indigo-500 to-teal-400"></div>
```

</Figure>

By default gradients are interpolated in the `oklab` color space.

### Removing background images

Use the `bg-none` utility to remove an existing background image from an element:

```html
<!-- [!code classes:bg-none] -->
<div class="bg-none"></div>
```

### Using a custom value

<UsingACustomValue
  utilities={["bg-linear", "from"]}
  name="gradient"
  value="25deg,red_5%,yellow_60%,lime_90%,teal"
  variable="gradient"
/>

### Responsive design

<ResponsiveDesign property="background-image" defaultClass="from-purple-400" featuredClass="from-yellow-500" />

## Customizing your theme

<CustomizingYourThemeColors utilities={["from", "via", "to"]} />
