About CSS Scroll Snap
CSS scroll snap is a native, JavaScript-free way to build smooth carousels, image galleries, and onboarding flows. The scroll container declares scroll-snap-type, each child declares scroll-snap-align, and the browser handles the rest — including momentum, keyboard navigation, and accessibility.
How to Use This Tool
Pick a preset or configure the axis, strictness, and item alignment. Tune scroll-padding on the container (great with sticky headers) and scroll-margin on items (great for shadows or focus rings). Drag the cards in the preview to reorder them, then copy the generated CSS.
Common Use Cases
Horizontal product carousels, vertical TikTok-style feeds, full-screen onboarding slides, image galleries with peek of next card, sticky-header-aware section anchors, and pricing comparison cards on mobile. Pairs perfectly with overflow scrolling and CSS grid/flex layouts.
