Tailwind to CSS converter

Paste a Tailwind class string and FrameworkKit expands common utilities into readable CSS for a `.converted` selector with local diagnostics.

Supported utility coverage

The current converter covers common layout, flex, grid, spacing, sizing, typography, color, border, radius, shadow, overflow, position, opacity, and transition utilities.

  • State variants: hover, focus, and active.
  • Responsive variants: sm, md, lg, xl, and 2xl.
  • Unsupported classes are listed instead of silently ignored.

Config-aware tradeoff

Project-specific theme tokens, plugins, and arbitrary complex variants still need manual review. The v1 goal is fast, useful CSS inspection without adding a Tailwind engine dependency.

Debugging utility strings

Use the converter when a class list is too dense to review in JSX. Expanding layout, spacing, color, state, and responsive utilities into CSS makes handoff and debugging easier.

  • Unsupported utilities are reported instead of silently dropped.
  • Responsive variants become media query blocks.
  • State variants become pseudo-class selectors.

Design handoff workflow

Paste the component class string, copy the readable CSS, and attach the output to design QA notes when collaborators do not work directly in Tailwind.

Production review

Keep Tailwind as the production compiler for project-specific tokens. Use FrameworkKit output as an explanation layer, not as a replacement for configured builds.

FAQ

Does Tailwind to CSS use my Tailwind config?

No. This v1 converter uses a browser-only map for common default Tailwind utilities and reports unsupported project-specific classes as warnings.

Are responsive and state variants supported?

Yes for common variants: `sm`, `md`, `lg`, `xl`, `2xl`, plus `hover`, `focus`, and `active`.

Is my class string uploaded?

No. Conversion runs in your browser and unsupported classes are reported locally.
