A design tool built around Marks: living gradient and material backgrounds that make everything you design look like yours. Pick a Mark, start from a blank page or ask the Designer, and make posts, stories, slides and more in every common size.
You can browse the Market, look up any Mark and claim one without an account: checkout asks for your email, and the Mark goes to the account for that email (we make one if it’s new). To design, save your work or export, create a free account with your email.
Create an accountCreating an account and designing with any unclaimed Mark are free, with no card needed. A free account keeps up to 3 designs and exports PNG or JPG at 720p, with a Gradiently watermark. You pay only for what you choose: claiming a Mark ($99), Pro ($19 a month or $99 a year) and extra AI credits. Every price is shown before you confirm.
See pricingYes. Gradiently runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. The Studio has the most room on a larger screen.
Yes. Anyone, anywhere, can design, claim Marks and get Pro, in any of our 12 languages. Prices show in euros in the European Economic Area and in US dollars everywhere else, and checkout can charge the equivalent in your local currency.
A Mark is a gradient and material recipe: colours, a material, motion and a type voice in one. It renders behind everything you design with it. Every Mark has a code like GR·K7Q2·MX and exactly one owner at a time.
The 1,000 Marks in the catalogue were crafted by Gradiently, and Gradiently owns each one until someone claims it.
Open the MarketThe collection is 1,000 Marks, and no more will be made. Each Mark has one owner at a time, so once it’s claimed, nobody else can claim it.
Open the Market and search by name, by English colour words like “deep teal”, or by code. A code works without the dots and in any case, so gr k7q2 mx finds GR·K7Q2·MX.
Open the MarketEach Mark has one owner at a time, shown on its page next to its creator. Catalogue Marks belong to Gradiently until someone claims them. When you claim a Mark, it becomes yours and its page shows you as the owner.
Once claimed, only the owner and their assigned team can design and export with a Mark. Everyone can still browse it.
It marks the official Gradiently account. For now it’s the only verified profile, so a check next to a name means the Mark or design comes from us.
See the Gradiently profileOnce claimed, only the owner and their assigned team can design and export with a Mark. Everyone can still browse it.
Every common platform size, from Instagram posts and stories to X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, slides and print, plus any custom size. Choosing a new size is free. With Pro, copy a finished design to every other size in one step.
Yes. Upload or paste images, crop them and tint them in your Mark’s colours. With Pro, add your logo, colours, fonts and voice to your brand kit once, and use them in every design.
The Studio saves as you go, and with Pro you can go back to earlier versions. A free account keeps up to 3 designs; Pro keeps as many as you like. Designs stay private until you choose to share or showcase one.
Without Pro, exports are PNG or JPEG at 720p, with a small Gradiently watermark, even with a Mark you own. Pro exports up to 4K with no watermark, in every format: transparent PNG, SVG, PDF and print PDF, animated GIF, video and animated Mark loops. Video can include your footage, audio, captions and page transitions; MP4 or WebM depends on your browser’s supported encoders. “Email me this” supports PNG and PDF. Keep any included stock-photo credits and icon licence notices with files you share.
You do. Your words, images and designs are yours, and we never use them to train AI. Designs you download with a Mark that’s yours stay yours to use for your brand and business, even if you later stop holding the Mark.
A Mark has one owner at a time. You can design freely with unclaimed Marks. Once a Mark is claimed, only its owner and explicitly assigned team members can design with it or export it.
Open a Mark that’s still open to claim and choose Claim. You don’t need an account first: checkout asks for your email and shows the full price before you pay, and the Mark is yours as soon as the payment goes through. If someone already owns it, choose another.
Open the MarketYes. Once you start checkout, the Marks in it are held for you for 30 minutes, so nobody else can claim them. If you don’t finish, they go back to the Market.
A Mark is $99, paid once, and its first year of keeping is included. Pro members claim more Marks for $49 each.
Up to 12 Marks, or 30 with Pro and 50 with a Studio pack. Marks waiting in a checkout count too.
Your name appears on its record and your profile. Only you and your explicitly assigned team can design and export with it. Everyone else can view it, but cannot use it in a design.
A numbered certificate of authenticity, issued in your brand’s name when you claim a Mark and emailed to you as a PDF. Anyone can check it by its number or the Mark’s code on the verify page. When a Mark changes hands, its new holder gets a new certificate.
Check a certificateNo. Your certificate proves you hold the Mark on Gradiently, but it isn’t a registered trademark. If someone copies your look somewhere else, write to us and we’ll confirm your ownership record to them. If your look matters to your business, consider registering it as a trademark where you trade.
Read the Mark Protection PolicyCertificates, transfers, listings and payouts are all in your brand’s name, so they wait until your workspace has one. Add it once in Settings › Workspaces, and any certificate that was waiting is sent straight away.
Yes. Release it in Settings › Marks you hold. It goes back to the Market straight away for anyone to claim, and you can’t undo it. Releasing a Mark isn’t refunded.
Claiming includes the first year. After that, with Pro ($19 a month or $99 a year), every Mark you own is kept free, however many. Without Pro, keeping a Mark is $19 a year per Mark.
Each Mark renews on its own once a year, on the day its year ends: we charge your saved card, or email you a link to pay if none is saved. We remind you 30 days and 7 days before. Turn renewal off for any Mark in Settings › Marks you hold; it stays yours until the year you paid for ends.
The Mark stays yours for 60 more days, marked as lapsing, and we remind you before that time runs out. Renew or start Pro by then and nothing changes. After that, the Mark goes back to the Market for others to claim. Designs you already downloaded stay yours to use.
They stay yours. When each Mark’s current year ends, it moves to yearly keeping at $19 a year, or start Pro again to keep them all free.
Pro is $19 a month or $99 a year, and opens everything the studio can do: exports up to 4K in every format with no watermark, unlimited designs and every tool. It keeps every Mark you own free, however many, adds AI credits every month with the option of a monthly refill, and lets you hold more Marks. Pro members claim more Marks for $49 instead of $99. Pricing lists everything in it.
See pricingYes, any time, in Settings › Billing. Pro stays on until the end of the time you paid for, then stops, and nothing more is charged. Your Marks stay yours, with keeping at $19 a year each once their current year ends.
Pro and free keeping carry on for 14 days while the payment is tried again. Update your card in Settings › Billing in that time and nothing changes. If it still isn’t paid, Pro ends and your Marks move to yearly keeping.
Gradiently’s AI makes and edits designs, applies your brand kit and resizes. Your Mark keeps its original identity.
No. It never copies another person’s private designs.
Type what you want into the box on Home and the Designer takes it from there.
Create an accountCredits pay for the Designer’s work; a new design takes about 10. Every new account gets 30 credits once, to try it. Pro adds credits every month, and they reset each month. Need more? Top-ups start at $10 and last 12 months. Credits belong to a workspace, so everyone in it shares them.
A Pro add-on that adds credits every month for up to 28% less than a one-time top-up. Refill credits carry over for one extra month. Change or cancel it any time in Settings; credits you already have stay until they expire.
No credits are added. A monthly refill whose payment fails stops straight away and isn’t tried again; start it again in Settings whenever you’re ready.
No. If a reply fails because of a problem on our side, its credits go back to your balance automatically. A reply you stop yourself keeps what it already used.
Yes. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant to Gradiently through MCP. It designs in your workspace with your own AI, without using credits.
Connect an assistantYes, for free, to anyone on Gradiently. We email you a code to confirm, they have 7 days to accept, and then the Mark and a new certificate are theirs. Once accepted, a transfer can’t be undone. You both need a brand name.
Yes. Choose a price from $10 to $100,000, in US dollars, and change it or take the Mark off the Market whenever you like. When someone claims it at your price, it becomes theirs and a new certificate is issued in their name.
Open the MarketListing is free. When your Mark is claimed, Gradiently keeps 5% of the price and 5% goes to the Mark’s creator, or to Gradiently for the Marks it crafted. You receive 90%.
Stripe pays what you earn into your bank account. Payouts are available in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States and Canada. From anywhere else you can still claim and hold Marks, but not list them. Set up payouts in Settings › Balance.
With a debit or credit card, or with Apple Pay or Google Pay where your device offers them. Payments are handled by Stripe, so we never see your card number.
Nothing is charged and nothing changes. Check your card details, try another card, or ask your bank to allow the payment; some banks ask you to confirm it in their app. If it keeps happening, send us a request.
Send a requestEuros in the European Economic Area and US dollars everywhere else, written the way your language writes prices. At checkout, Stripe can show and charge the equivalent in your local currency. Market listings are always in US dollars.
No. Prices are final, with no tax added on top. If checkout shows your local currency, you pay the equivalent of the price you saw.
Every payment has a numbered invoice. Download it any time in Settings › Billing, where you can also change your card.
A claimed Mark is final, because it becomes yours alone the moment you claim it. For Pro, unused AI credits and launch packs, send us a request: a person reviews it and refunds the unused part, prorated. We reply within 5 working days, and if a mistake was ours, we always put it right.

Yes, with Pro. Create a team workspace, invite people from Settings › Team and give each a role: admin, editor or viewer. Each workspace keeps its own brands, designs and AI credits.
A workspace is where you work, with its own people, AI credits and brand name. Inside it, each brand has its own kit: logo, colours, fonts and the Mark it wears. Most people start with one of each.
Yes, both in Settings. Download a copy of your data at any time. Before you delete your account, cancel Pro and any monthly refill in Settings › Billing, and hand over or delete any team workspace you own. Deleting removes your brands, designs and uploads for good, and Marks you hold go back to the Market.
