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.
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);}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.

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 */}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>No need to remember that complicated gradient syntax — create silky-smooth gradients with just a few utility classes.
Redefining real-time performance
Our next-generation rendering engine delivers unmatched speed and efficiency, empowering creators to push boundaries like never before.
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.
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.
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Tailwind CSS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/build.css" /> </head> <body> <button class=""></button> </body></html>@layer utilities {}Tailwind in the wild
Build whatever you want, without touching your CSS file.
Because Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Some of your favorite sites are built with Tailwind, and you probably had no idea.
