Hi everyone 👋

Today I wanted to share with you 6 awesome CSS layout generators/tools that will help you in rapid prototyping and front-end development of CSS layouts for your projects. I hope you will find it useful and bookmark it so that you can refer to it easily in future.

Let's start!

### 1. Interactive CSS Grid Generator By Layoutit

Quickly design web layouts, and get HTML and CSS code. Learn CSS Grid visually and build web layouts with this interactive CSS Grid Generator.

Popular Layouts & patterns made with CSS. Zero Dependencies. No Frameworks. No CSS Hacks. Real Use Cases. Good Practices. You can select a pattern and it has all the code related to that pattern which we can copy-paste in our projects.

### 3. Griddy

Easily create CSS Grid layouts by setting the number of columns and rows using various units. We can also set column and row gap and see the generated code at the bottom which we can copy-paste in our projects. It doesn't support adding `grid-template-areas` or `grid-area` like the Layoutit site, but still it's a very helpful tool.
