Frequently Asked Questions

Use Grid for two-dimensional layouts where you control rows and columns together — page shells, dashboards, image galleries. Use Flexbox for one-dimensional flows like navbars and button rows. They also combine well: Grid for the page, Flexbox inside each cell.

fr stands for 'fraction' — it distributes available space proportionally. A grid with 2fr 1fr columns gives the first column twice the width of the second, after any fixed-size tracks are accounted for.

minmax(100px, 1fr) creates a track that never shrinks below 100px but grows to share free space. It's the key ingredient in responsive grids that stay readable at small sizes without media queries.

Set its column or row start and end lines — for example, column start 1 and end 3 spans two columns. The visual preview shows exactly which cells each item occupies as you adjust the values.

Yes. CSS Grid has been supported by every major browser since 2017, so unless you need to support very old browsers, you can use the generated code without fallbacks.
