WHY TAILWIND CSS?

Built for the modern web. text-base text-gray-950

Tailwind is unapologetically modern, and takes advantage of all the latest and greatest CSS features to make the developer experience as enjoyable as possible.

Responsive design

Okay, it’s not exactly cutting edge, but just throw a screen size in front of literally any utility to apply it at a specific breakpoint.

What’s a website these days without a few backdrop blurs? Keep stacking filters until your designer asks you to please, please stop.

If you’re not a fan of burning your retinas, just stick dark: in front of any color to apply it in dark mode.

CSS variables

Customizing your theme is as simple as creating a few CSS variables.

@theme { --font-sans: "Inter", sans-serif; --font-mono: "IBM Plex Mono", monospace; --text-tiny: 0.625rem; --text-tiny--line-height: 1.5rem; --color-mint-100: oklch(0.97 0.15 145); --color-mint-200: oklch(0.92 0.18 145); --color-mint-300: oklch(0.85 0.22 145); --color-mint-400: oklch(0.78 0.25 145); --color-mint-500: oklch(0.7 0.28 145); --color-mint-600: oklch(0.63 0.3 145); --color-mint-700: oklch(0.56 0.32 145); --color-mint-800: oklch(0.48 0.35 145); --color-mint-900: oklch(0.4 0.37 145); --color-mint-950: oklch(0.3 0.4 145); } P3 colors

The color palette now uses more vibrant wide gamut colors without you needing to understand what any of that even means.

Using grid utilities directly in your HTML makes it so much easier to reason about complex layouts.

Transitions that work the way you'd expect — throw a few utilities on an element and you're in business.

Cascade layers

Tailwind uses CSS layers so you don’t have to worry about specificity issues.

@layer theme, base, components, utilities; @layer theme { :root { /* Your theme variables / } } @layer base { / Preflight styles / } @layer components { / Your custom components / } @layer utilities { / Your utility classes */ } Logical properties

Supporting multiple language text directions is no longer a nightmare.

Tag an element as a container to let children adapt to changes in its size.

<div class="@container"> <div class="grid grid-cols-1 @sm:grid-cols-2"> <img src="/img/photo-1.jpg" class="aspect-square @sm:aspect-3/2 object-cover" /> <img src="/img/photo-2.jpg" class="aspect-square @sm:aspect-3/2 object-cover" /> <img src="/img/photo-3.jpg" class="aspect-square @sm:aspect-3/2 object-cover" /> <img src="/img/photo-4.jpg" class="aspect-square @sm:aspect-3/2 object-cover" /> </div> </div> Gradients

No need to remember that complicated gradient syntax — create silky-smooth gradients with just a few utility classes.

Power Meets Precision Redefining real-time performance

Our next-generation rendering engine delivers unmatched speed and efficiency, empowering creators to push boundaries like never before.

Render time performance 6.4x Real-time frame rate 4.2x Multi-platform build time 2.7x 3D transforms

Sometimes two dimensions aren’t enough. Scale, rotate, and translate any element in 3D space to add a touch of depth.

HOW IT WORKS

Ship faster and smaller. text-base text-gray-950

Tailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client.
