CSS columns Property


The columns property is a shorthand property for:

  • column-width
  • column-count

The column-width part will define the minimum width for each column, while the column-count part will define the maximum number of columns. By using this property, the multi-column layout will automatically break down into a single column at narrow browser widths, without the need of media queries or other rules.

CSS Syntax

columns: auto|column-width column-count|initial|inherit;
