How can I create a responsive CSS grid layout that adapts to different screen sizes?

Asked on Oct 08, 2025

Answer

Creating a responsive CSS grid layout involves using CSS Grid properties and media queries to adjust the layout based on screen size. Here's a basic example to get you started.
<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <style>
      .grid-container {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr));
        gap: 10px;
      }
      .grid-item {
        background-color: #f0f0f0;
        padding: 20px;
        text-align: center;
      }
    </style>

    <div class="grid-container">
      <div class="grid-item">1</div>
      <div class="grid-item">2</div>
      <div class="grid-item">3</div>
      <div class="grid-item">4</div>
      <div class="grid-item">5</div>
      <div class="grid-item">6</div>
    </div>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->
Additional Comment:
  • The "grid-template-columns" property uses "repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr))" to create a flexible grid that adjusts the number of columns based on the container's width.
  • "minmax(200px, 1fr)" ensures each grid item is at least 200px wide but can grow to fill the available space.
  • Use media queries to further customize the grid for specific breakpoints if needed.
  • This approach ensures the grid is responsive and adapts to various screen sizes without additional media queries.
