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.
