How to use

  1. Choose a fixed number of columns, or “Responsive” to let columns wrap at a minimum width.
  2. Set the gaps and alignment and watch the preview update.
  3. Select an item in the preview (click or Enter) and give it a column or row span.
  4. Copy the CSS and HTML into your theme, page builder custom CSS or component.

What this tool does

It writes standard CSS Grid code: grid-template-columns with repeat() and fr units, or repeat(auto-fit, minmax(…)) for a grid that adapts to the screen without media queries, plus gap, alignment and grid-column / grid-row spans for individual items.

Why it matters

Grid is the most reliable way to build two-dimensional layouts such as card lists, galleries and dashboards. Seeing the result while adjusting values is faster than trial and error in a stylesheet.

Common uses

  • Card and product grids that wrap on mobile.
  • Feature sections with one large highlighted item.
  • Custom CSS for Elementor containers set to Grid.

Tips

  • minmax(240px, 1fr) with auto-fit is a good default for card grids.
  • Use gap instead of margins on items; it never adds space at the outer edges.

Limitations

Named grid areas and subgrid are not generated. The preview uses simple numbered boxes, not your real content.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between auto-fit and auto-fill?

Both create as many columns as fit. With auto-fit, empty tracks collapse so the items stretch to fill the row; with auto-fill, empty tracks keep their space.

Is CSS Grid supported everywhere?

Yes. All current browsers support CSS Grid, including gap.
