Adjust flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap to generate Flexbox CSS.

Category: Dev Tools

When to use?

Use it to build a Flexbox layout, checking each property's effect with a preview and generating CSS. Great for visualizing confusing flex properties.

How to use

  • Choose flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap.
  • Check the item layout live in the preview.
  • Copy the generated Flexbox CSS.

Input Explanation

Choose the flex container's flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and gap with radio buttons.

Calculation Basis

It builds a .container { display: flex; flex-direction: ... } CSS string from the selected options and applies it to the preview DOM element to render the layout.

Usage Examples

  • Experiment with layouts - Change Flexbox options to see the layout and CSS.
  • Quick pre-deploy check - Check inputs and output to reduce errors before dev/ops work.
  • Aid docs/reviews - Copy the result into dev docs, issues, or review comments.

Examples

  • justify-content: center, align-items: center → code that centers children vertically and horizontally
  • justify-content·align-items center → children centered

Cautions

  • Generated output is for reference; test carefully before production use.
  • Specific specs or framework-only syntax may cause compatibility issues.

Guides

Core Flexbox properties

Combine flex-direction (main axis), justify-content (main-axis alignment), align-items (cross-axis alignment), and gap (child spacing) to build most layouts.

Use the visual preview

Changing a property updates the preview instantly. Copy the generated CSS to apply directly in your project.
