title: Adjust the Margin of an Element
---
## Adjust the Margin of an Element
Adjusting the `Margin` of an `Element` means to increase or decrease the amount of spacing between the Element's borders and surrounding Elements.
• Margins are adjusted with positive and negative integers by units of pixels(`px`).
• Margins can be created from all directions (top, bottom, left, right).
This is an example of how it is written:
```css
margin: 20px;
```
You can easily change or adjust the `Margin` of an `Element` by changing the numerical value:
<b>Before</b>:
margin: `20`px;
<b>After</b>:
margin: `50`px;
You can also create a custom `class` with a `margin` that you will use repetitively.
```css
.style-margin {
margin: 20px;
}
```
```html
<h2 class="style-margin">Example</h2>
```
