Colorizer

Colorizer is a software application that enables you to design text with gradient colors for HTML webpages. It comes packed with a handful of approachable options that can be tackled with ease, even by those with little or no experience in such tools.

Simple setup and interface

Installing this utility is a speedy task that shouldn't give you any trouble, thanks to the fact that there are no special options, software requirements, or third-party offers involved.
The app gets integrated into the system tray at startup and gets sent there on close to become non-intrusive and let you carry on with your normal PC activity while providing quick access to its control panel whenever you need its help.
The window has a seemingly cluttered appearance due to the fact that it shows all settings put at your disposal. After entering the text you wish to colorize, you can preview the gradient results while tinkering with the color configuration.

Configure gradient settings to generate the HTML code

Separate RGB (red, green, blue) values can be set for the start, end and background color. This can be done either by specifying the color codes or by picking colors from the color spectrum. The start and end colors can be swapped with the click of a button.
In addition, you can choose between three kinds of gradient, increase or decrease the text preview size, make the tags uppercase, apply the gradient for each line instead of the whole text, as well as disable quotes for JavaScript attributes.
The HTML code of the new gradient text can be generated with the click of a button. Parts of it can be selected or copied, or the entire code can be sent to the Clipboard. There are no other notable settings provided by this app.

Evaluation and conclusion

Although it hasn't been updated for a long time, it worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt errors. CPU and RAM usage was minimal, so it didn't hamper the computer's performance.
Thanks to its intuitive interface and options, Colorizer can be easily used for generating HTML-ready text with gradient colors.
