What is the Flexbox Generator?

The free CSS Flexbox Generator produces ready-to-use flexbox CSS by letting you configure every major property with dropdowns and see a live layout preview. Set flex-direction, flex-wrap, justify-content, and align-items — and adjust the number of preview items to see exactly how your layout will behave. Copy the CSS for both the container and items in one click.

  • Build a responsive navigation bar layout without writing flexbox from scratch.
  • Centre a div both horizontally and vertically with the correct flexbox properties.
  • Design a card grid that wraps automatically on smaller screens.
  • Understand how justify-content and align-items interact visually before committing to code.
  • Quickly prototype column or row layouts for a web app UI.

How to Use the Flexbox Generator

  1. 1 Set the flex-direction dropdown to row, row-reverse, column, or column-reverse.
  2. 2 Set flex-wrap to nowrap, wrap, or wrap-reverse.
  3. 3 Adjust justify-content (main axis alignment) and align-items (cross-axis alignment) using their dropdowns.
  4. 4 Change the item count slider to see how the layout responds with more or fewer items.
  5. 5 Copy the generated CSS from the output panel — it includes both the container class and individual item class.
