What is a Clamp Generator?
This tool creates CSS clamp() expressions for fluid typography.
It helps you scale text smoothly between viewport widths without many media queries.
How to use
- Choose minimum and maximum font sizes in pixels.
- Set the minimum and maximum viewport widths where scaling should occur.
- Review the generated clamp() expression in the output box.
- Resize your browser to check how text behaves responsively.
- Copy and paste the CSS value into your styles.
Example usage
Use clamp() for section titles so they stay readable on mobile and feel proportional on desktop.
Tips
- Use realistic viewport bounds based on your layout breakpoints.
- Keep min and max sizes close enough to avoid dramatic jumps.
- Store reusable clamp values in CSS variables.
- Pair fluid headings with stable body text for balance.
