Previously I have shared a Grid Menu Layout, but this time is for image gird. Basically, masonry stands for placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space, like a mason fitting stones in a wall. Nowadays many image sharing websites use this type of layout. For example, you can see Pinterest.

Today you will learn to create responsive image grid columns. This is very easy stuff, whole design majorly based on 2-3 properties. One of my visitors asks me for creating this, that’s why posting this. You can use this on your website in the portfolio section, or any other place as you want.

CSS Masonry Image Gird Layout Source Code

Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First I have created a divs with two class names container, and column. The container class is to giving width and placing the whole divs, and the column class is for managing image grids. Inside the div, I have placed some random images using Lorem Picsum.

Now in the CSS file, I gave max-width for the whole container. I have used CSS column-* property for creating grid. The CSS multi-column layout allows creating column grids.I have used three column properties column-count , column-gapand column-width .
