About CSS to Tailwind Conversion

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that uses predefined classes instead of custom CSS. Migrating from traditional CSS to Tailwind involves mapping CSS properties to their equivalent utility classes. This tool automates the conversion for common CSS properties including display, position, flexbox, grid, spacing, typography, colors, borders, and more. For properties without exact Tailwind equivalents, it generates arbitrary value classes using Tailwind's bracket notation (e.g., bg-[#custom]). The converter handles both individual declarations and complete CSS rulesets with selectors. While not every CSS property has a 1:1 Tailwind equivalent, this tool covers the most frequently used properties to accelerate your migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all CSS be converted to Tailwind?
Not all CSS has a direct Tailwind equivalent. The tool converts common properties like display, flexbox, typography, and spacing. Complex or unusual CSS is flagged as 'unconverted' for manual handling.
How does it handle custom colors?
Custom colors are converted using Tailwind's arbitrary value syntax: color: #ff5733 becomes text-[#ff5733]. You can later map these to your Tailwind theme colors.
Does it support responsive breakpoints?
The tool converts the CSS properties within each rule. Responsive classes (sm:, md:, lg:) need to be added manually based on your media query breakpoints.
Can I paste CSS with selectors?
Yes. The tool parses CSS rulesets with selectors and shows the Tailwind classes for each selector. You can also paste raw declarations without selectors.
