Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool convert all Tailwind classes?

This tool covers ~80-90% of commonly used Tailwind utility classes (450+ classes) including layout, spacing, colors, typography, and effects. Some advanced features like arbitrary values, responsive variants (sm:, md:), state variants (hover:, focus:), or custom configurations are not yet supported.

Does CSS to Tailwind conversion always work?

The tool will suggest the closest Tailwind equivalents for your CSS. However, complex CSS with custom values may not have exact Tailwind matches. In such cases, you might need to use Tailwind's arbitrary value syntax like [color:#custom].

Is the conversion 100% accurate?

The tool provides accurate conversions for standard Tailwind classes. However, Tailwind's responsive variants, state variants (hover, focus), and custom configurations require additional context.

Can I convert entire stylesheets?

This tool is designed for converting individual class sets or style declarations. For large-scale migrations, consider using dedicated migration tools or doing conversions in smaller chunks.
