  • Which Tailwind versions are supported?

    This converter currently supports Tailwind CSS v3.4.18. Support for Tailwind v4 is under development!

  • Can I use the generated CSS in production?

    Yes! The output is production-ready. However, always double-check your styles and make sure all variables are defined as needed.

  • Is my code stored or shared anywhere?

    Absolutely not! We only parse your submitted HTML snippet to get your classes. It is never stored on our servers nor shared with any third-parties.

  • Is there a limit on HTML snippet size?

    Yes. In order to provide this free tool and prevent abuse, the HTML snippets are limited to 500 HTML elements and/or 1,000 classes.

  • Can I include non-Tailwind classes?

    Yes, the converter will ignore unknown classes and still process valid Tailwind ones. Custom classes will not be included in the converted HTML snippet, so you will need to add them manually if required.

  • Why do I need Tailwind defaults in my stylesheet?

    This converter uses Tailwind's compiler, which relies on default styles and variables being set. You only need those that are relevant to your project to ensure full styling accuracy. If something looks a little off, you're probably missing some default styles.

  • Why is my first conversion sometimes slow?

    To reduce costs, the conversion server sleeps during periods of inactivity. This results in the first conversion sometimes taking a bit longer than normal. Following conversions will be done much faster as the server is wide awake from its nap!
