In many situations both words are close by meaning. Красивий is mostly used referring to physical appearance, in this meaning красивий, вродливий, гарний are synonyms:
beautiful girl - гарна/красива/вродлива дівчина
handsome man - вродливий чоловік
etc.
However, гарний has a broader meaning and also commonly used in the meaning of good, nice, great:
nice weather - гарна погода
good man - гарна людина
etc.

If you want to talk about appearance, the word гарний/гарна is like "nice", that means pretty good looking, like a little better than average. When you use красивий/красива or вродливий/вродлива it means beautiful/handsome, which is much better than average appearance.

Also гарний is a synonym to хороший(good) and добрий (kind)
Examples
Сьогодні ми зробили гарну (хорошу) роботу.

Він гарний (хороший) хлопець.
He is a good (nice, kind / beautiful) guy. (depends on situation)
