**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](https://github.com/picocss/pico/archive/refs/tags/v1.5.11.zip) and link `/css/pico.min.css` in the `<head>` of your website.
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css">
```
**Install from CDN**
Alternatively, you can use [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@picocss/pico) to link pico.css.
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@1/css/pico.min.css">
```
**Install with NPM**
```shell
npm install @picocss/pico
```
**Install with Composer**
```shell
composer require picocss/pico
```
## Class-less version
Pico provides a `.classless` version ([example](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/picocss/examples/tree/master/v1-classless)).
In this version, `header`, `main` and `footer` act as containers.
Use the default `.classless` version if you need centered viewports:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@1/css/pico.classless.min.css">
```
Or use the `.fluid.classless` version if you need a fluid container:
```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@1/css/pico.fluid.classless.min.css">
```
Then just write pure HTML, and it should look great:
```html
<!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@1/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.
