FitText.js is a jQuery plugin that makes font sizes flexible, resizing display headlines proportionally to their container's width for responsive designs. It offers a compressor setting and optional min/max font size bounds.

Use cases

• make headlines scale fluidly in a responsive layout
• resize display text based on container width
• set min and max font sizes for responsive headlines
• achieve scalable giant display text on fluid layouts
• replace fixed font sizes with ratio-based resizing

When to choose

• you already use jQuery in a responsive project
• you need ratio-based headline scaling with simple configuration
• you want min/max font size control for typographic hierarchy

When to avoid

• you can use modern CSS vw units for full-width text
• your project does not use jQuery (consider non-jQuery forks)
• you need pixel-perfect text fitting (try BigText or SlabText)
• you need actively maintained software with a license
