About Media Queries

Media queries enable responsive design by applying styles based on device characteristics:

  • Create breakpoints for different screen sizes
  • Apply styles conditionally based on viewport width
  • Support for orientation (portrait/landscape)
  • Essential for mobile-first responsive design

💡 Tip: Use mobile-first approach: start with mobile styles, then add min-width media queries for larger screens.

What It Does

A Media Query Generator creates responsive CSS media queries with customizable breakpoints for mobile-first responsive design. Media queries allow you to apply different styles based on device characteristics like screen width, height, and orientation. The generator provides preset breakpoints for common device sizes (mobile, tablet, desktop) and allows custom breakpoints with min-width, max-width, and orientation options. It generates clean, organized CSS code that follows best practices for responsive design. Essential for creating websites that work seamlessly across all device sizes, from mobile phones to large desktop screens.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What's the difference between min-width and max-width media queries?
min-width queries apply styles when the viewport is at least that wide (mobile-first). max-width queries apply when the viewport is at most that wide (desktop-first). Mobile-first with min-width is the recommended approach.
2 What are common breakpoint values?
Common breakpoints: 320px (small mobile), 768px (tablet), 1024px (desktop), 1440px (large desktop). However, design breakpoints based on your content, not arbitrary device sizes.
3 Can I combine multiple conditions in a media query?
Yes! Use "and" to combine conditions: @media (min-width: 768px) and (orientation: landscape). You can also use "or" with commas: @media (max-width: 768px), (orientation: portrait).
