Create Responsive CSS Grid Layouts with Visual Controls
A powerful tool for designing responsive CSS grid layouts with customizable columns, rows, gaps, and item spanning. Preview your layouts across different device sizes and export as Tailwind CSS or raw CSS.
The Grid Layout Generator allows you to create responsive grid layouts with an intuitive visual interface. Design your grid structure, customize individual items, preview across different viewport sizes, and export production-ready code.
Tip: Click on any grid item to select it and access its properties panel. Selected items show a visual indicator.
The Grid Settings panel allows you to configure the overall structure of your grid layout, including columns, gaps, and responsive behavior.
Set the number of columns for desktop views using the slider. Range: 1-12 columns. This is the base configuration that tablet and mobile will adapt from.
Control the spacing between grid items. Range: 0-12 (maps to Tailwind's gap scale). Larger gaps create more pronounced spacing between items.
Note: Column span values for items are validated against the maximum desktop columns to prevent invalid grid configurations.
Grid items are the individual cells within your grid layout. You can add new items, duplicate existing ones, or remove items you no longer need.
Click the "Add Item" button to append a new grid item to your layout. New items are added with default properties and sequential naming.
Duplicate an existing item to quickly create similar layouts. The copy inherits all properties from the original item.
Remove items you don't need by clicking the delete button on the item or in the properties panel. Removed items cannot be undone.
Tip: Use the hover controls on each item for quick duplicate and delete actions without selecting the item first.
When you select a grid item, the Properties panel appears with options to customize its appearance and behavior.
Enter custom text content for the grid item. This text is displayed within the item and also appears in the generated HTML output.
Choose the item type (Default, Image, Button, Card) which affects how the content is rendered in the preview.
Set how many columns the item should span. Range: 1 to max columns. Items spanning multiple columns create complex, modern layouts.
Set how many rows the item should span. Range: 1-4. Row spanning creates vertical layouts that span multiple grid rows.
Choose from preset background colors that map to Tailwind's color palette:
Note: Span indicators appear on items that span multiple columns or rows, showing the dimensions (e.g., "2×2" for a 2-column by 2-row item).
Test how your grid layout adapts to different screen sizes using the viewport preview controls. Switch between mobile, tablet, and desktop views to ensure your layout remains functional and visually appealing across all devices.
Preview your grid with the mobile column count (1-4 columns). Shows how the layout stacks on small screens.
Preview your grid with the tablet column count (1-8 columns). Shows layout adaptation for medium-sized screens.
Preview your grid with the desktop column count (1-12 columns). Full layout view for large screens.
Tip: The preview shows a visual indicator of the current viewport mode and column count. Column span and row span only apply in desktop view.
Generate production-ready code for your grid layout. Toggle the "Show Code" button to reveal the code panel, then copy the generated CSS or Tailwind classes.
Toggle the code panel to view the generated HTML and CSS. The code updates in real-time as you modify your grid layout.
Click the copy button to copy the current code to your clipboard. A toast notification confirms successful copying.
The Grid Layout Generator supports two output formats: Tailwind CSS and raw CSS. Choose the format that best fits your project's needs.

Note: The Tailwind output uses responsive prefixes (lg:, md:) for column spans. Column and row span utilities are only applied at the lg breakpoint and above.
