CSS Clamp Generator

A fluid clamp() value for font-size, spacing or any size property, scaling between two viewport widths -- with a simulated-viewport slider so you can see the exact interpolated value at any width without resizing the window. Presets, randomize, and export to CSS, Tailwind, SCSS or React.

What this tool does

Builds a fluid clamp(min, preferred, max) value — the modern way to scale font size, spacing, or any dimension smoothly with viewport width instead of jumping between fixed sizes at media-query breakpoints — by computing the correct slope-and-intercept vw formula from two size/ viewport pairs.

The math, done for you

Given a minimum size at a minimum viewport width and a maximum size at a maximum viewport width, the tool derives the linear equation between them and expresses it as the calc()-free Xpx + Yvw preferred value clamp() actually needs — the same calculation that's easy to get wrong doing it by hand.

Simulating any viewport width

A simulated-viewport slider shows the exact interpolated value at any width between (and beyond) the min/max bounds, with a live numeric readout and a real preview element sized or scaled to match — so a specific breakpoint's value can be checked without actually resizing the browser window.

Works for more than font-size

Seven properties are supported — font-size, padding, width, height, gap, line-height, and letter-spacing — with the preview adapting to show text, a sized box, or spaced chips depending on which property is selected.

Presets and randomizing

Five presets — H1 Heading, Body Text, Section Padding, Card Gap, and Container Width — cover common fluid-sizing needs, plus a randomize button for quick exploration.

Getting the CSS out

Export as plain CSS, a Tailwind arbitrary-value class, SCSS, or a React inline style object, copyable with one click.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser -- nothing you build is sent to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The clamp() value is calculated and previewed entirely in the browser -- nothing is sent to a server.
How does the tool figure out the vw coefficient?
It treats the min size at the min viewport and the max size at the max viewport as two points on a line, then solves for that line's slope and intercept -- the standard fluid-typography formula, done automatically instead of by hand.
Can I see the value at a specific viewport width without resizing my browser?
Yes -- the simulated-viewport slider shows the exact interpolated value and a live preview at any width, including widths outside the min/max range (where the value stays clamped at its floor or ceiling).
Does this only work for font-size?
No -- padding, width, height, gap, line-height, and letter-spacing are all supported, with the preview showing text, a sized box, or spaced chips depending on which property is chosen.
What happens outside the min/max viewport range?
The value stays clamped at its minimum below the min viewport width and at its maximum above the max viewport width -- that's the entire point of clamp() over a raw linear vw calculation, which would keep growing or shrinking indefinitely.
What export formats are available?
Plain CSS, a Tailwind arbitrary-value class, SCSS, or a React inline style object -- selectable from a dropdown next to the code output.
