NameToGradientHow it Works
Enter a name
Type any name (or several, separated by commas) into the input field. The names are cleaned up—extra spaces, accents, and capitalization are all normalized so that "Alice" and "alice" always produce the same result.
Generate a fingerprint
The cleaned-up name is run through a hash function—a mathematical recipe that turns any text into a single, unique number. Think of it like a fingerprint for that name: the same name always produces the exact same number.
Pick the colors
That fingerprint number seeds a random number generator. Instead of truly random colors, the generator produces a predictable sequence—so the same fingerprint always yields the same set of colors, angles, and positions.
Render the gradient
The colors, angles, and positions are combined into a gradient based on the mode you choose—linear sweeps, radial bursts, or organic blob shapes. The result is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gradient that belongs to that name forever.
