About the Tailwind to CSS Converter

Every Tailwind class is shorthand for real CSS, and sooner or later you need to see it: to debug a specificity clash, to copy a component into a project that does not use Tailwind, to explain to a reviewer what shadow-sm actually does, or to check what a variant compiles to.

Paste classes — or a whole block of HTML, JSX or Vue, and the class names are picked out for you — and get the CSS Tailwind generates for them. This runs Tailwind v4 with its default theme, so the output is the framework’s own, variants and all: hover:, md:, dark: and focus: each produce their real selector or media query. Only the custom properties your classes actually use are included, so the result is a snippet you can paste into any project.

Unknown classes flagged

A class that generates nothing is counted, which catches typos fast.

Frequently asked questions

Tailwind CSS v4.1 with its default theme. That matters: v4 is built on custom properties and OKLCH colours, so its output differs from v3 even for the same class name.
