What is a layout breakpoint?

A layout breakpoint is a specific screen width at which your UI layout changes to accommodate different device sizes. Common breakpoints include:

  • Mobile: up to 480px

  • Tablet: 481px–768px

  • Desktop: 769px and above

Breakpoints are implemented using CSS media queries to ensure your design remains user-friendly on all devices. For a deeper understanding of responsive design principles, refer to our article on Responsive Design Breakpoints.
