Frequently Asked Questions
What is a spacing scale?
A spacing scale is a set of predefined spacing values (margins, paddings, gaps) that follow a consistent pattern. Common patterns include multiples of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32) or 8 (8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64).
What is the difference between rem and em?
rem is relative to the root font size (usually 16px), while em is relative to the parent element font size. rem is more predictable for spacing and layout, while em is useful for component-level scaling.
Can I export spacing scales as CSS custom properties?
Yes, the Spacing Scale Calculator outputs your scale as CSS custom properties (--space-1, --space-2, etc.) and as Tailwind CSS config values, ready to paste into your project.
