Tailwind CSS uses utility classes like flex, p-4, text-lg, and bg-blue-500 that map to standard CSS properties. When migrating away from Tailwind, debugging styles, or learning what each class does, converting them to vanilla CSS is invaluable. This tool takes Tailwind class names and outputs the equivalent CSS properties.
display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 1rem; padding: 1.5rem; border-radius: 0.75rem; box-shadow: 0 10px 15px -3px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1), 0 4px 6px -4px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1); background-image: linear-gradient(to right, var(--tw-gradient-stops)); --tw-gradient-from: #a855f7 var(--tw-gradient-from-position); --tw-gradient-to: #a855f700 var(--tw-gradient-to-position); --tw-gradient-stops: var(--tw-gradient-from), var(--tw-gradient-to); --tw-gradient-to: #ec4899 var(--tw-gradient-to-position); color: #ffffff; font-weight: 600; backdrop-filter: blur(12px);
Paste Tailwind CSS utility classes (e.g., 'flex items-center gap-4 p-6 bg-blue-500 rounded-lg shadow-md') into the input field. The tool converts each class to its equivalent CSS property and value. The output shows a clean CSS rule set that you can use in vanilla CSS projects. Unknown or custom classes are flagged with a comment. Hover, responsive, and dark mode variants are also handled.
Tailwind-to-CSS conversion is useful when migrating projects away from Tailwind CSS to vanilla CSS or CSS Modules, understanding what Tailwind utility classes actually do (learning tool), creating CSS-only versions of Tailwind-built components for non-Tailwind projects, debugging Tailwind styles by seeing the underlying CSS, documenting component styles in a framework-agnostic format, and building design tokens from Tailwind configurations.
The converter maintains a comprehensive mapping dictionary of Tailwind utility classes to their CSS equivalents. Spacing utilities (p-4, m-2, gap-3) use Tailwind's default spacing scale where each unit = 0.25rem (4px at 16px base). Color utilities (bg-blue-500, text-gray-700) map to Tailwind's default color palette. Responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:) generate @media queries with Tailwind's default breakpoints (640px, 768px, 1024px). The tool covers the most commonly used 300+ Tailwind utilities.
Tailwind CSS provides utility classes that each apply a single CSS property. For example, 'p-4' applies padding: 1rem, 'flex' applies display: flex, and 'text-blue-500' applies color with a specific blue shade.
The tool covers common Tailwind utilities including spacing (p, m), sizing (w, h), typography (text, font), colors (bg, text, border), layout (flex, grid), and effects (shadow, opacity, rounded).
Useful for: migrating projects away from Tailwind, understanding what Tailwind classes do, creating CSS fallbacks, or using Tailwind-designed components in non-Tailwind projects.
