Spacer

Add responsive vertical space between blocks.

Usage

Spacer adds vertical space between blocks without extra padding on a Section or empty paragraph tricks. Set a Mobile Size and Desktop Size independently so spacing can tighten on small screens and breathe more on large ones.

The block is invisible on the front end β€” it renders as an empty element with a set height. In the editor it appears as a labeled placeholder so you can find and adjust it.

Sizes

Mobile (all viewports; overridden on desktop when a desktop size is set):

  • None β€” 0
  • Small β€” 1rem (default)
  • Medium β€” 2rem
  • Large β€” 3rem

Desktop (640px and up):

  • None β€” keep the mobile height
  • Small β€” 2rem
  • Medium β€” 4rem (default)
  • Large β€” 6rem

Both size classes are saved on the block. Mobile presets apply everywhere; desktop presets replace the height at the desktop breakpoint when set to Small, Medium, or Large.

Tips

  • Use Mobile: None with a desktop size when you only want extra space on larger screens.
  • Use Desktop: None when mobile spacing is enough at every breakpoint.
  • Prefer Spacer over manual margin when you need consistent, named spacing steps across a page.
  • Stack multiple Spacers sparingly β€” a single Large desktop preset is usually cleaner than several small ones.
