Grid layouts read poorly as raw code and instantly as pictures. This generator keeps the layout visual until you are ready to export:
CSS Grid is the two-dimensional layout system behind most serious page structures, but hand-writing track sizes and template areas invites errors that only appear at a particular breakpoint. Developers building responsive page layouts with header, sidebar, content, and footer sections, teams creating card grids and dashboards that adapt to screen size, and designers prototyping magazine-style layouts with overlapping elements will build those structures faster visually than in code.
The template areas feature is the standout control. Naming regions like header, sidebar, content, and footer, then placing them visually, produces a grid-template-areas declaration that is self-documenting in the codebase. The responsive preview lets you see how the layout behaves as the viewport narrows, and the CSS export captures the whole thing in one click. The result is production-ready CSS that teams can read and maintain instead of a screenshot.
Page layouts under development are often for client websites that have not launched, and the structure of those pages is commercially sensitive. Uploading grid experiments to an online builder hands a third party a preview of client work that is protected by contract.
This generator builds and previews everything locally in your browser. The tracks, areas, and gaps you arrange produce CSS on your device alone, so unreleased client layouts and their structural decisions are never transmitted.
Use the controls to set the number and size of columns and rows in your grid.
Name grid areas like 'header', 'sidebar', 'content' and place them visually in the grid.
Set gap sizes between rows and columns, preview at different viewport sizes, then copy the CSS.
Practical examples to help you get the most out of CSS Grid Generator:
grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr 1fr; grid-template-rows: auto 1fr auto; Creates a classic header-main-sidebar-footer layout with three columns.
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr)); gap: 1rem; Responsive card grid that automatically adjusts columns based on available space.
Use fr, %, or minmax() for responsive grid tracks. Fixed px values prevent the grid from adapting to different screen sizes.
Items auto-place by default, which may not match your design. Use grid-column and grid-row to explicitly place items, or use grid-template-areas.
CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system that allows you to create complex web layouts with rows and columns. It is ideal for page-level layouts and component grids.
Yes. Use the template areas feature to define named grid areas like 'header', 'sidebar', 'content', and 'footer', then place items visually.
Yes. The responsive preview lets you see how your grid layout adapts at different viewport sizes.
No. All grid generation and preview happens locally in your browser.
Configure columns, rows, and gaps with intuitive controls and live preview.
Define named grid areas and place items visually.
See how your grid behaves at different viewport sizes.
Copy the generated CSS grid code with one click.
CSS Grid Generator is useful in a variety of scenarios across different workflows:
Building responsive page layouts with header, sidebar, content, and footer sections
Creating complex card grids and dashboard layouts that adapt to screen size
Designing magazine-style layouts with overlapping elements and named template areas
Name your grid areas (header, sidebar, content, footer) and place them visually with grid-template-areas. This makes layout intent clear at a glance.
Use CSS Grid for page-level layout and Flexbox for component-level alignment. They work great together — Grid handles 2D, Flexbox handles 1D.
