What CSS Grid is

CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system for rows and columns.

It is a strong fit for card layouts, dashboards, galleries, and any interface where both horizontal and vertical structure matter at the same time.

Grid vs Flexbox

Both are useful, but they solve different problems well.

  • Use Flexbox when the layout is mainly one-dimensional.
  • Use Grid when you need explicit rows and columns.
  • Grid also makes repeatable card and dashboard layouts easier to express.

Common grid layout examples

A few patterns the generator is meant to speed up.

  • 2-column layout: Simple editorial layout with balanced columns.
  • 3-column cards: Useful for card decks and feature overviews.
  • Dashboard layout: A denser grid suited to stats or control panels.

FAQ

Common questions when starting with Grid.

When should I use `repeat()` with `1fr` columns?

It is a good default when you want evenly distributed columns that fill available space.

Do I need drag-and-drop placement to use Grid?

No. Most grid layouts start from simple template rows and columns plus auto placement, which is what this first version focuses on.
