This flowchart will help you pick the right CSS unit
The flowchart 👉
There are a lot of CSS length units to pick from—54 to be exact!—which can make it hard to know which one you should use. Luckily, there are only a handful that you’ll use most of the time, but it can still be hard to know what’s best, so I’ve made a flowchart to help you decide!
