What people use CSS Flexbox Generator for
- Working out the right combination of justify-content and align-items for a layout.
- Building a navigation bar or a card row with even spacing.
- Understanding why a flex item is not sizing the way you expect.
CSS Flexbox Generator: limits and things worth knowing
- justify-content works along the main axis and align-items across it, and the main axis flips when flex-direction is column. Almost every flexbox confusion traces back to this.
- The flex shorthand's third value is flex-basis, and it takes precedence over width. An item with an unexpected size usually has a flex-basis you did not mean to set.
- flex: 1 expands to 1 1 0%, which sizes items by available space. flex: auto expands to 1 1 auto, which sizes them by content first — the difference is why one row distributes evenly and another does not.
- gap works in flexbox in all current browsers and replaces the old margin-on-every-child-except-the-last pattern.
Is it private and secure?
Your privacy is built in. CSS Flexbox Generator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.
Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.
You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
