Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS Flexbox?

CSS Flexbox (Flexible Box Layout) is a CSS layout module that provides a more efficient way to arrange, align, and distribute space among items in a container, even when their size is unknown or dynamic.

What's the difference between justify-content and align-items?

justify-content aligns items along the main axis (horizontally by default), while align-items aligns items along the cross axis (vertically by default). The axes change when flex-direction is column.

Can I use this generated CSS in production?

Yes! The generated CSS uses standard flexbox properties supported by all modern browsers. Copy the code directly into your stylesheets.
