As a game developer you often have the need of gradients, those are small images that are pretty usefull for backgrounds, player stat bars etc…

A easy and free to use tool is Gradcolor. Gradcolor is a website with the one and only purpose of creating gradients fast. You can then use the image generated as backgrounds for your game, headings or whatever you like. Choose the image size, pick your two (or even three) colours and a gradient image is generated. You can save them on the site if you want by registering (for free), otherwise simply save them to your computer. Create as many images as you need, there is no limit.
