How do I generate a multi-color background gradient in SVG?

Paste SVG and click Apply background gradient. A rect behind your artwork fills the viewBox with a multi-stop gradient.

Should the gradient cover the full viewBox for backgrounds?

Yes. A full-bleed rect ensures the gradient scales with the SVG coordinate system.

Yes. Layer foreground elements above the gradient rect in document order.

Gradient defs are compact — a few stops add minimal bytes compared to raster backgrounds.
