About CSS clamp

CSS clamp lets a value grow between a minimum and maximum size as the viewport changes. It is useful for fluid type scales, spacing tokens, and layout values that should adapt without breakpoint jumps.

Common uses

  • Create responsive font-size declarations
  • Build spacing values between mobile and desktop widths
  • Convert pixel design targets into rem-based CSS
  • Preview the generated fluid value before copying it

Notes

Enter viewport and size targets in pixels. The generator outputs a rem-based clamp expression using the root font size you choose.

Examples

Create fluid body text

Set a 320px to 1280px viewport range and 16px to 20px font sizes to generate a clamp value for responsive reading text.

Build a spacing token

Generate a gap or padding value that scales between mobile and desktop layouts without adding another breakpoint.

FAQ

What does CSS clamp do?Show

CSS clamp sets a minimum value, a preferred fluid value, and a maximum value. The browser uses the fluid value while keeping it inside the min and max limits.

Why does this generator output rem values?Show

Rem values follow the root font size, which keeps typography and spacing friendlier to user zoom and accessibility settings.

Can I use clamp for spacing as well as font sizes?Show

Yes. Clamp works for many CSS length properties, including font-size, padding, gap, margin, width, and layout tokens.
