What is Flexbox Playground?

Flexbox Playground is a free interactive online tool for learning and building CSS Flexbox layouts with rich item customization. Control flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, flex-wrap, and gap — and for each item individually set element type (text, heading, button, image, card), background color, border radius, box shadow, and padding.

CSS Flexbox is the most widely used layout system on the web. The best way to learn it is to change one property at a time and immediately see the result. This playground makes that frictionless — click, see, understand, and copy the complete CSS.

How It Works

Container flex properties apply to the live preview instantly. Each item stores its own element type, colors, and style. CSS output includes container styles and any customized item styles.
