How do I customize breakpoints in Tailwind configuration?

Asked on Nov 03, 2025

Answer

In Tailwind CSS, you can customize breakpoints by modifying the `tailwind.config.js` file. This allows you to define your own screen sizes for responsive design.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    module.exports = {
      theme: {
        extend: {
          screens: {
            'xs': '480px',
            'sm': '640px',
            'md': '768px',
            'lg': '1024px',
            'xl': '1280px',
            '2xl': '1536px',
          },
        },
      },
    }
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Tailwind's default breakpoints are mobile-first, meaning they apply styles from the smallest to the largest screen size.
You can add new breakpoints or modify existing ones by adjusting the `screens` property in the configuration file.
After making changes, ensure you rebuild your CSS to see the updates reflected in your project.
