Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the AI gradient generator on NightCafe

Is the gradient generator free to use?

Yes. NightCafe provides free daily credits so you can generate gradient art and backgrounds without entering payment details. Paid plans offer more daily credits and premium features if you want to create at higher volume.

Which AI models can I use for gradient generation?

NightCafe gives you access to 30+ models including Nano Banana, GPT Image, Flux, and Seedream. Each handles color blending and soft transitions differently, so trying a few models on the same gradient prompt often reveals surprisingly different results.

Can I use my AI-generated gradients commercially?

Yes, including on the free plan. NightCafe assigns copyright of the output to you as the creator, so you can use gradient art on album covers, book covers, merchandise, or social media. You should own or have permission to use any reference images you upload, and it's worth checking copyright law in your own country, as AI copyright rules are still evolving.

How do I describe a gradient to get the best results?

Be specific about the colors you want (for example 'deep cobalt blue blending into warm peach'), the direction or shape ('radial burst', 'diagonal sweep'), and any texture or mood ('grainy', 'glowing', 'painterly'). Including an intended use — like 'phone wallpaper' or 'album cover background' — also helps the model judge scale and composition.

How does NightCafe compare to Midjourney for gradient art?

NightCafe offers a wider selection of models in one place (30+), free daily credits with no subscription required to start, and a community where you can share and discover gradient art. Midjourney requires a paid subscription and works only through Discord, making NightCafe a more accessible choice for hobbyists and one-off creative projects.

Can I create gradient wallpapers for my phone or desktop?

Yes. Describe your gradient and intended device, and the generator will produce artwork you can use as a wallpaper. For phone wallpapers, you can also select a portrait aspect ratio to match your screen. Gradient wallpapers, backgrounds, and textures are among the most popular uses on NightCafe.
