fit-content

{{CSSRef}}

The fit-content keyword is equivalent to {{cssxref("fit-content_function", "fit-content(stretch)")}} . In practice, this means that the box will use the available space, but never more than {{cssxref("max-content")}} .

When used as laid out box size for {{cssxref("width")}} , {{cssxref("height")}} , {{cssxref("min-width")}} , {{cssxref("min-height")}} , {{cssxref("max-width")}} and {{cssxref("max-height")}} the maximum and minimum sizes refer to the content size.

The {{cssxref("interpolate-size")}} property and {{cssxref("calc-size()")}} function can be used to enable animations to and from fit-content.

[!NOTE] The CSS Sizing specification also defines the {{cssxref("fit-content_function", "fit-content()")}} function. This page details the keyword.

Syntax

width: fit-content;
block-size: fit-content;
