# Use relative units for responsive layouts
Fixed pixel values override user browser preferences, making your site inaccessible to users who increase their default font size (a common accommodation for low vision). Relative units also reduce the number of breakpoints needed — elements naturally adapt to available space rather than requiring explicit overrides at every viewport width.
## Quick Reference
- Use rem for font sizes — it respects user browser font size preferences
- Use % or flex/grid for widths — they adapt to the parent container
- Use em for component-relative spacing (padding, border-radius)
- Use clamp() for fluid typography that scales smoothly between breakpoints
## Check
Find all px-based font-size, width, and padding values in this CSS file that should use relative units instead.
