The min() function returns the smallest value among the provided arguments. It’s helpful when you want to set a property value that shouldn’t exceed a specific size.

Syntax:

CSS
width: min(500px, 100%);

Example:

This ensures the element’s width will not exceed 500px, but if 100% of the container is smaller than 500px, it will take the smaller value:

CSS
.main {
  width: min(500px, 100%);
}
