A Superpowered HTML Reset

With just the right amount of everything, Pico is a great starting point for a clean and lightweight design system.

Class-light and Semantic

Thriving on simplicity, Pico directly styles your HTML tags, using fewer than 10 .classes overall. It also comes with a class-less version for wild HTML purists.

Great Styles with Just CSS

Responsive Everything

Effortless elegance on every device. Pico natively scales font sizes and spacings with screen widths, resulting in a consistent and elegant look across devices. No extra classes or configuration needed.

Light or Dark Mode

Pico comes with two accessible, neutral color schemes out of the box: light and dark. The best part? It automatically adapts to users' prefers-color-scheme, all without the use of JavaScript.

Easy Customization

Customize Pico with over 130 CSS variables, or dive deeper by using SASS. Switch between 20 handcrafted color themes and compose with 30+ modular components to tailor the UI to your brand's look and feel.
