GradientFinder is an online tool that converts images to CSS gradients. For those of us who hate writing out vendor prefixes by hand, or for those who resist CSS preprocessors like LESS and SASS, this can save hours over the course of a project. In addition to the website, GradientFinder is an open-source JavaScript library, so you can drop it into your website and use it in the wild.

Image-to-CSS conversions are the missing link in tools like Gradient for Mac. As the app’s website indicates, there’s some “super secret coolness” in the pipeline. I have to wonder if this is what they meant and, if so, how the existence of GradientFinder will affect the development of their product.
