Understanding CSS Grid
CSS grid lays out content in two dimensions at once: the container declares columns, gaps, and alignment, while items drop into the resulting cells row by row. Unlike one-directional flexbox rows, a grid keeps both axes aligned, so cards in different rows share edges and gutters stay uniform without margin tricks.
Tracks, gaps, and implicit rows
The repeat(n, 1fr) pattern used here divides the container into n equal tracks that share free space. Column-gap and row-gap draw fixed gutters between tracks while outer edges stay flush with the container. Rows you do not declare explicitly are created on demand with the grid-auto-rows minimum, so adding items never breaks the layout, it simply extends the grid downward.
Alignment inside cells
Justify-items positions each cell along the inline axis and align-items along the block axis, with stretch filling the whole track by default. Centering both shrinks cells to content size and floats them mid-track, which suits icon tiles and badges. Keep stretch for cards and galleries so neighbors share clean row edges.
Grid or flexbox
Reach for grid when rows and columns must align together: dashboards, photo walls, pricing tables, and product listings. Reach for one-directional flows like menus, button rows, and centered stacks with the Flexbox Generator. Many pages combine both: a grid page frame with flexbox rows inside each card, rounded with the Border Radius Generator.
Honest limitations
This tool emits equal 1fr columns and automatic rows only; it does not generate named template areas, custom track lists like 240px 1fr, or per-item column spans beyond the tall-cell demo. Gap values are fixed pixels rather than fluid clamp() expressions. For animated entrances of grid cells, continue with the Animation Generator.
Privacy and Client-Side Security
Privacy Guarantee: All generation occurs locally inside your browser. Your columns, gaps, and sizes are never transmitted, stored, or recorded on remote servers.
Many online editors save drafts or track style choices on a server, which is unnecessary for fixed-syntax CSS math. TinyToolzz keeps everything in-page: option mapping, string building, and preview styling run with plain JavaScript operations.
Because nothing is uploaded, there is no waiting, no account, and no copy of your design retained anywhere. Your values exist only in the tab's memory and are discarded when you close the page or click Reset.
