What is the CSS Grid Generator?

Create beautiful, responsive CSS Grid layouts in seconds with our powerful visual editor.

Instantly adjust columns, rows, track sizes, gaps, and alignments while watching a live preview. Add, move, and resize items directly on the canvas, then copy clean, production-ready CSS code for your projects.

Perfect for designers and developers who want to prototype complex grid-based layouts without writing boilerplate code.

How it works

  1. Configure the Grid — Set the number of columns and rows, then define custom templates using standard CSS syntax (e.g., repeat(4, 1fr), 200px 1fr auto).

  2. Adjust Spacing & Alignment — Fine-tune column/row gaps and choose from all standard justify-* and align-* properties.

  3. Add & Customize Items — Click to add items, then drag spans or edit their positions, labels, and colors directly in the preview.

  4. Live Preview — Watch your layout update in real time as you make changes. Items are fully interactive.

  5. Export CSS — Copy the complete stylesheet (container + individual item classes) ready to paste into your stylesheet.

Examples

Basic 3-Column Responsive Grid

Generate a clean 3-column grid with equal tracks and custom gaps

Columns: 3, Rows: 4, Template: repeat(3, 1fr), Gap: 1.5rem
 
.grid-container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 1.5rem;
  /* ... full styles */

Complex Asymmetrical Layout with Named Items

Build an asymmetrical dashboard-style grid with spanning items

Custom column template: 250px 1fr 1fr, Row template: auto 1fr auto, Multiple spanning items
 
.grid-container {
  grid-template-columns: 250px 1fr 1fr;
  /* ... */ }

.item-1 { grid-column: 1 / 3; }

Frequently asked questions

What is the CSS Grid Generator?

Our tool provides a complete visual interface for designing CSS Grid layouts. It generates clean, valid CSS that you can copy directly into your projects.

How do I make items span multiple columns or rows?

Select any item in the preview or item list, then use the span controls or manually edit the start/end values in the editor panel.

Can I use custom units like px, %, or minmax()?

Yes. The column and row template fields accept any valid CSS Grid track values including fr, px, auto, minmax(), repeat(), and more.

Does it support named grid areas?

While the visual preview focuses on numbered tracks, you can easily add grid-template-areas manually to the generated CSS container styles.

Is the generated code responsive?

The generated CSS is fully responsive by nature. Use modern units like fr, minmax(300px, 1fr), or media queries on the output code for breakpoint-specific behavior.

Can I save my grid layouts?

Currently, layouts are stored in your browser session. Use the copy button to save the CSS permanently in your project files.

What browsers support the generated CSS?

All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) have excellent support for CSS Grid. The generated code uses only widely supported features.
