CSS Flexbox Playground

Interactive flexbox layout builder with visual controls and CSS code generation

Overview

The CSS Flexbox Playground provides an interactive environment to learn and experiment with CSS Flexbox layouts. Adjust flexbox properties in real-time, see immediate visual feedback, and generate production-ready CSS code for your projects.

Tips

  1. Start with Presets: Use the preset layout buttons to see common flexbox patterns like centering, navigation bars, and responsive grids, then modify properties to understand how they work.

  2. Experiment One Property at a Time: Change a single flexbox property and observe its effect before adjusting others. This helps you understand each property’s role in the layout.

  3. Test with Multiple Items: Add or remove flex items to see how properties like justify-content, flex-wrap, and gap behave with different numbers of children.

  4. Use the Gap Property: Instead of adding margins to individual items, use the modern gap property on the container for cleaner, more maintainable spacing.

  5. Copy the Generated CSS: The tool generates production-ready code for both the container and individual items. Use this as a starting point for your own projects and modify as needed.
