The CSS to Tailwind Converter translates standard CSS declarations into equivalent Tailwind CSS utility classes. Paste any CSS rule set and get back the matching Tailwind classes, ready to drop into your HTML. Declarations that have no direct Tailwind equivalent are flagged as comments so you know what to handle manually.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CSS properties are supported?
The converter handles the most common properties: display, flexbox, grid, margin, padding, width, height, max-width, font-size, font-weight, text-align, border, border-radius, position, overflow, opacity, cursor, z-index, and more. Unsupported properties are shown as comments.
What happens with values not on the Tailwind scale?
Values that don't match a standard Tailwind scale entry are output as arbitrary values, e.g. w-[130px] or p-[7px], which are valid in Tailwind v3+.
Does it handle shorthand properties like margin: 16px 8px?
Yes. Shorthand margin and padding values (1, 2, or 4 parts) are expanded into the correct directional classes such as my-4 mx-2.
Is my CSS sent to a server?
No. All conversion logic runs entirely in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
