Adding gradient text in Elementor can elevate your website design and make your content stand out. But one of the main problems is that Elementor does not offer any native widget or addon for that, you need to purchase the plugin add-ons like Happy Plugins Gradient Widget or unlimited-elements gradient text .
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to add gradient text in Elementor free without using an add-on or premium plugin. So without a further do lets jump onto step by step process
Create or Edit a Page with Elementor

background: linear-gradient(300deg, #8982fd, #6025c9,
#dc08df);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;

selector {
background: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff007a, #00d4ff);
-webkit-background-clip: text;
