# Columns

> Arrange cards and other components in a responsive multi-column grid layout with the columns component, including customizable column counts.

The `Columns` component lets you arrange content in a responsive grid layout. It's most often used to put cards in a grid, by specifying the number of grid columns. You can also use the `Column` sub-component to wrap arbitrary content. Columns are responsive and automatically adjust for smaller screens.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Get started" icon="rocket">
    Set up your project with our quickstart guide.
  </Card>

  <Card title="API reference" icon="code">
    Explore endpoints, parameters, and examples for your API.
  </Card>
</Columns>

```mdx Columns example theme={null}
<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Get started">
    Set up your project with our quickstart guide.
  </Card>
  <Card title="API reference">

  </Card>
</Columns>
```

## Column sub-component

Use the `Column` component to wrap text or code in individual columns. This is useful when you want to display arbitrary content side by side, not just cards or other components.
