Posted By Bajarangi soft , Posted On 13-10-2020

The linear-gradient is a kind of text-styling in which the text is filled with linear-gradient color codes. These kinds of effects are generally used in dark-themed websites or apps to make the text look attractive and bold. They are almost suitable for dark themes and do not go well with the lighter themes.

Approach:
Please refer linear-gradient(), method to sreate a gradient background and then use webkit properties to overlay that background with our text.
HTML Code: In the following section, the text used for demonstration is wrapped inside h1 tag.

<!-- Write HTML code here -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content=
            "width=device-width,
      initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Gradient Text</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>BAJARANGI SOFT</h1>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code: For CSS code, please follow the steps given below.

Step 1: Apply a basic background to the body tag and align the text to center of the page.
Step 2: Do some basic styling like font-size and family etc.
Step 3: Apply the linear gradient property with any colors of your choice.
Step 4: Now apply webkit properties, the first one will make the whole gradient-background transparent and the second property will fill the text with the gradient background.

Note: You can apply some shadow to the text to give it a darker or matte finishing kind of look.

<style>
    body {
        background: rgb(39, 39, 39);
    }

    h1 {
        position: absolute;
        top: 40%;
        left: 40%;

        font-size: 40px;
        font-family: Arial,
        Helvetica, sans-serif;
        background: linear-gradient(
                to right, #f32170, #ff6b08,
                #cf23cf, #eedd44);
        -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
        -webkit-background-clip: text;
    }
</style>

Complete Code: It is the combination of the above two sections of code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content=
            "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Gradient Text</title>
    <style>
        body {
            background: rgb(39, 39, 39);
        }

        h1 {
            position: absolute;
            top: 40%;
            left: 40%;

            font-size: 40px;
            font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
            background: linear-gradient(to right, #f32170,
            #ff6b08, #cf23cf, #eedd44);
            -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
            -webkit-background-clip: text;
        }
    </style>
</head>
