CSS Grid: Gap between the cells

Unless specified, there is no space between the cells.

You can add spacing by using those properties:

  • column-gap
  • row-gap

or the shorthand syntax gap.

Example:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 200px;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 50px;
  column-gap: 25px;
  row-gap: 25px;
}

The same layout using the shorthand:

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 100px 200px;
  grid-template-rows: 100px 50px;
  gap: 25px;
}
