Minimal CSS Framework for semantic HTML

Pico CSS is a minimalist and lightweight starter kit that prioritizes semantic HTML, making every HTML tag responsive and elegant by default.

Pico.css

Class-light and semantic Pico uses simple native HTML tags as much as possible. Less than 10 .classes are used in Pico.

Great styles with just one CSS file No dependencies, package manager, external files, or JavaScript.

Responsive everything Elegant and consistent adaptive spacings and typography on all devices.

Light or Dark mode Shipped with two beautiful color themes, automatically enabled according to the user preference.

Usage

There are 4 ways to get started with pico.css:

Install manually

Download Pico and link /css/pico.min.css in the <head> of your website.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css" />

Install from CDN

Alternatively, you can use jsDelivr CDN to link pico.css.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@next/css/pico.min.css" />

Install with PNPM

pnpm install @picocss/pico@next

yarn add @picocss/pico@next

Install with Composer

composer require picocss/pico

Class-less version

Pico provides a .classless version (example).

In this version, header, main and footer act as containers.

Use the default .classless version if you need centered viewports:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@next/css/pico.classless.min.css" />

Or use the .fluid.classless version if you need a fluid container:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@next/css/pico.fluid.classless.min.css"
/>

Then just write pure HTML, and it should look great:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@next/css/pico.classless.min.css"
    />
    <title>Hello, world!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <main>
      <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    </main>
  </body>
</html>

Limitations

Pico can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, it’s designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate any helpers or utilities .classes, this minimal CSS framework requires SCSS or CSS knowledge to build large projects.
