Layout Recipe
Build an Image Gallery Grid with Tailwind CSS
A gallery wants uniform cells and tight, even gutters — exactly what 'grid grid-cols-4 gap-4' produces. Images flow into equal-width cells automatically, and adding 'aspect-square object-cover' to each image keeps every thumbnail cropped to the same shape. Scale the column count down at smaller breakpoints ('grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4') so thumbnails never get too small to tap.
The playground below is pre-configured with this exact layout — tweak any control to explore, then copy the Tailwind or vanilla CSS from the exporter.
