Mesh Gradient Generator [+ Noise] – Figma/SVG Export
Why use this mesh gradient generator?
This tool is the quickest way to create & tinker with mesh gradients on the web 🙂
It also allows a one-click export into Figma (the “Copy SVG for Figma” button above – click it, then open Figma and paste).
The quickest way to generate vivid mesh gradients
Easy:
- Add a bunch of color swatches (“+” button)
- Shuffle until you get good colors (“New colors” button)
- Shuffle positions until you like the result (“New positions” button)
Optionally, you can adjust the color values, swatch sizes and layering, noise, and blur. But the formula above is fast 😎
One-click export Mesh Gradient to Figma
Once you have a gradient you like, you can copy the Figma-friendly SVG code to your clipboard by pressing “Copy SVG for Figma”.
Then open Figma, press paste, and you can continue editing your mesh 👍
Note: Figma cannot properly import SVG-based noise. So you’ll find instead that the noise is a group of raster-based layers 🤨. Feel free to edit or remove entirely. If you’re looking for fine-grained noise controls, the best plugin is Rogie’s Noise & Texture.
Blend modes for Noise effect
There are currently three differently noise blend options (If you want to play with more, export to Figma first and then tinker there):
- Overlay. This leads to the grittiest, grainiest texture at high opacities.
- Soft light. Similar to overlay in strength of the effect, but yields a much smoother texture.
- Luminosity. Appears as a more classic fine-grained noise, but tends to darken light colors.

- Gradient Generator. This is my standard gradient generator (no noise, no mesh). It allows you to create linear, radial, or conic gradients – and makes them especially vivid by interpolating the colors in radial color spaces 🤓. Confusing? Try it – you'll like it 😉

And, as always, send me feedback and feature requests. I aim for this to be the very best mesh gradient tool on the web – so what do you want to see? 😎
