What is CSS Grid?

CSS Grid Layout is a two-dimensional layout system for the web. It allows you to divide a page into rows and columns, giving you precise control over the placement and sizing of elements.

This tool features:

  • Real-time preview — See the grid layout update instantly as you adjust controls.
  • Full CSS Grid control — Configure columns, rows, gap, item alignment, and content alignment.
  • Visual item placement — Grid items are numbered and color-coded for easy reference.
  • Copy HTML & CSS — Export both the HTML structure and CSS code with one click.

CSS Grid Properties

Property Description Example
grid-template-columns Defines the columns of the grid 1fr 1fr 1fr
grid-template-rows Defines the rows of the grid auto auto auto
gap Sets the gap between grid items 8px
justify-items Aligns items along the row axis center
align-items Aligns items along the column axis stretch
justify-content / align-content Aligns the entire grid within its container center

How to Use

  1. Set the grid structure — Adjust the number of columns, rows, and gap size using the sliders.
  2. Customize sizes — Choose column and row sizing units like 1fr, auto, or fixed pixel values.
  3. Configure alignment — Set how items and the grid itself are aligned within the container.
  4. Copy the code — Click Copy HTML or Copy CSS to export your grid layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fr and px?

fr (fraction unit) distributes available space proportionally, while px sets a fixed size. For example, 1fr 1fr 1fr creates three equal-width columns, while 200px 1fr creates a fixed 200px column and a flexible remaining column.

When should I use Grid vs Flexbox?

Use CSS Grid for two-dimensional layouts (rows AND columns). Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (either a row OR a column). Grid is ideal for page layouts, card grids, and dashboards.
