About CSS Grid Generator

CSS Grid Generator preview - CSS tool

Generate grid-template CSS with custom cols, rows, and gap. Part of the DevTools Surf developer suite. Browse more tools in the CSS collection.

Use Cases

  • Prototype dashboard layouts before hand-coding CSS
  • Copy starter grid-template-areas into a component
  • Preview responsive grid behavior with custom gaps
  • Compare grid-template-areas layouts before picking one

Tips

  • Use fr units for proportional columns: 1fr 2fr 1fr
  • Set both gap and row/col gaps independently
  • grid-template-rows: repeat(3, auto) for repeating row sizes

Fun Facts

  • CSS Grid landed in Chrome in March 2017 — the same month in all four major browsers, a rare coordinated release.
  • Grid's 'subgrid' feature took 6 additional years after Grid itself to reach full browser support (2023) — it allows nested grids to align with their parent's tracks.
  • CSS Grid was championed by Jen Simmons and Rachel Andrew, whose years of advocacy and demos were instrumental in convincing browser vendors to prioritize implementation.

FAQ

Does it output grid-template-areas?
Yes — the tool emits both grid-template-columns/rows values and a named grid-template-areas layout you can copy together.
Can I mix fixed and fractional columns?
Yes — use px, rem, fr, or minmax() per column. The tool renders a preview so you can see how columns respond to width changes.
What about auto-fit and auto-fill?
Both supported. Toggle the dropdown to insert `repeat(auto-fit, minmax(...))` — useful for responsive card grids.
Is the output compatible with Tailwind?
Tailwind's arbitrary value syntax (`grid-cols-[200px_1fr_200px]`) can express the same grid. The generator has a Tailwind copy mode.
