The difference between span and div is that a span element is in-line and usually used for a small chunk of HTML inside a line (such as inside a paragraph) whereas a div (division) element is block-line (which is basically equivalent to having a line-break before and after it) and used to group larger chunks of code.

<div> is a block tag, while <span> is an inline tag. <div> is a block-level element and <span> is an inline element.

Div is a block tag & Span is an inline tag.

Using div for a large block of content, span for a small block of content. That is my opinion.

The <div> tag is a generic block-level element, so a rectangular object which can not be broken over several lines.

It’s easy to customize it to your needs.

The div element is currently the most common method for identifying the structural sections of a document and for laying out a web page using CSS.

Span is an inline element. It’s perfect for inline styling, like coloring a single word sentence. Div is a block level element because it is used to make separate containers or boxes within a page or document.
