Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I convert Tailwind to CSS?

Common reasons: migrating styles away from Tailwind, using them in a project without Tailwind configured, understanding what a class string renders, copying into email templates, or moving to CSS Modules or CSS-in-JS.

Does the converter handle responsive prefixes?

Yes. Tailwind responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:, 2xl:) are converted to CSS @media query blocks using Tailwind's default breakpoint values (sm = 640px, md = 768px, lg = 1024px, xl = 1280px).

What about hover:, focus:, and other variant prefixes?

Yes. Pseudo-class variants like hover:, focus:, and active: are converted to CSS pseudo-class selectors (:hover, :focus, :active).

Does it use Tailwind v3 or v4 values?

The converter uses Tailwind v3 default scale values (e.g. p-4 = 1rem, text-sm = 0.875rem). Custom theme values are not supported.

Is the tool free?

Yes, completely free with no account required.

How do I convert Tailwind classes to CSS?

Paste your Tailwind class names (space-separated) into the converter and click Convert. The tool outputs the equivalent CSS properties for each class, which you can use in any stylesheet.

What CSS does Tailwind p-4 generate?

p-4 generates padding: 1rem (16px). Tailwind uses a spacing scale where 1 unit = 0.25rem. So p-1 = 0.25rem, p-2 = 0.5rem, p-4 = 1rem, p-8 = 2rem.

How do Tailwind responsive variants convert to CSS?

Tailwind responsive variants (md:text-lg) convert to CSS media queries: @media (min-width: 768px) { font-size: 1.125rem; }. Tailwind uses a mobile-first approach, so variants apply at the breakpoint and above.

Can I use converted CSS in email templates?

Yes. Email clients do not support Tailwind JIT, but they support inline styles. Convert your Tailwind classes to CSS properties and use them as inline styles in your email HTML.

How do arbitrary Tailwind values convert to CSS?

Arbitrary values like w-[237px] convert directly: width: 237px. The square bracket syntax maps 1:1 to the CSS value inside.
