About CSS Grid

CSS Grid is a powerful layout system for creating two-dimensional layouts:

  • fr units: Fractional units for flexible sizing
  • auto: Size based on content
  • px/%: Fixed or percentage-based sizing
  • Gap: Space between grid items
  • Alignment: Control item and content alignment

💡 Tip: Use fr units for responsive, flexible layouts. Combine with auto for content-based sizing.

What It Does

A CSS Grid Generator is a visual tool for creating two-dimensional CSS Grid layouts. This powerful generator allows you to define grid rows and columns using flexible units (fr), fixed sizes (px), percentages, or auto-sizing. The tool provides intuitive controls for adding/removing rows and columns, setting gaps between grid items, and configuring alignment properties. A live preview shows how your grid layout will appear with sample items, making it easy to visualize the final result. The generator creates production-ready CSS code for modern, responsive grid layouts. Perfect for creating complex page layouts, card grids, dashboard interfaces, and any design that requires precise two-dimensional control. CSS Grid is the modern standard for layout, offering more power and flexibility than older layout methods.

Key Features:

  • Visual grid builder with row and column controls
  • Flexible sizing units: fr (fractional), px, %, auto
  • Add/remove rows and columns dynamically
  • Gap controls for row and column spacing
  • Alignment controls: align-items, justify-items, align-content, justify-content
  • Live preview with configurable number of items
  • One-click copy of generated grid CSS
  • Responsive and flexible grid layouts

How To Use

Creating CSS Grid layouts is intuitive. Define your rows and columns, set gaps, and see the result in real-time.

1

Define Rows

Add rows to your grid. Each row can use fr (fractional) units for flexible sizing, px for fixed sizes, % for percentages, or auto for content-based sizing.

2

Define Columns

Add columns similarly. Use fr units for equal distribution, or mix units for complex layouts. The preview updates as you modify the grid structure.

3

Set Gaps

Configure row-gap and column-gap to add spacing between grid items. You can set them independently or use the same value for both.

4

Configure Alignment

Set align-items and justify-items to control how items align within their grid cells. Use align-content and justify-content to control overall grid alignment.

5

Preview and Copy

Adjust the number of preview items to see how your grid handles different content amounts. When satisfied, copy the generated CSS code.

  • •Mix fr with fixed sizes (px) for hybrid layouts
  • •auto sizing adapts to content size
  • •Gap creates space between items, not around the grid
  • •Test grid layouts on different screen sizes

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What's the difference between CSS Grid and Flexbox?
Flexbox is one-dimensional (row OR column), perfect for component layouts. CSS Grid is two-dimensional (rows AND columns), ideal for page layouts. Use Grid for overall page structure, Flexbox for component-level layouts. They work great together!
2 What are fr units?
fr (fractional) units divide available space proportionally. For example, "1fr 2fr 1fr" creates three columns where the middle is twice as wide as the outer columns. fr units are flexible and responsive, making them perfect for modern layouts.
3 Can I use Grid with Flexbox?
Absolutely! Grid and Flexbox complement each other. Use Grid for the overall page layout, then use Flexbox inside grid items for component-level layouts. This combination gives you maximum layout power.
