Quick start
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" />
Usage from CDN
Alternatively, you can use jsDelivr CDN to link pico.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.min.css" />
Install with NPM
npm install @picocss/pico
Or
yarn add @picocss/pico
Then, import Pico into your SCSS file with @use:
@use "pico";
Install with Composer
composer require picocss/pico
Starter HTML template
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css">
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Class-less version
Pico provides a .classless version.
In this version, <header>, <main>, and <footer> inside <body> act as containers to define a centered or a fluid viewport.
Use the default .classless version if you need centered viewports:
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/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@2/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" />
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@2/css/pico.classless.min.css"
/>
<title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>
Limitations
Pico CSS 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.

Browser Support
Pico CSS is designed and tested for the latest stable Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari releases. It does not support any version of IE, including IE 11.
The following chart lists support for Pico CSS in major desktop and mobile browsers, based on non-exhaustive testing of the Pico CSS preview page at https://4mrnhq.csb.app/. Tests were performed using LambdaTest's Real Time browser testing platform. The preview page was chosen because it covers most Pico CSS features. If a browser version successfully loads all of the elements on the preview page with the correct styling, then it is marked as supported.
| Chrome | Firefox | Microsoft Edge | Internet Explorer | Opera | Safari | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mac | Supported (>= 89) | Supported (>= 84) | Supported (>= 89) | - | Supported (>= 75) | Supported (>= 14) |
| Windows | Supported (>= 89) | Supported (>= 84) | Supported (>= 89) | Not Supported | Supported (>= 75) | - |
Other browsers which use the WebKit, Blink, or Gecko rendering engines and were released in 2022 or later, including Android versions of Chrome and Firefox, should load Pico CSS correctly in most cases, however no support is provided for older and alternative browsers. On iOS, the earliest version of WebKit compatible with Pico CSS is found in iOS 14.5.
