CSS Multi-Column Width
Calculate the optimal column-width for CSS multi-column layouts based on container width.
CSS multi-column layouts require precise 'column-width' and 'gap' settings to prevent text from becoming too narrow or wide. This tool calculates the ideal width for columns given a container size and a target number of columns, ensuring optimal readability (45-75 characters per line).
By optimizing column widths, developers can create newspaper-style layouts that are responsive and legible. This utility eliminates the trial-and-error process of setting column-count and column-gap, leading to faster development cycles for content-heavy sites.
Privacy: Layout math is performed in-browser. No content or container data is shared.
Terms: Calculations include a standard gutter allowance. Final rendering depends on browser implementation of the CSS Multi-column Layout Module.
