CSS Positioning to Tailwind
position:absolute → absolute. Inset sides map to top/right/bottom/left utilities. Custom z-index uses arbitrary values.
Stacking contexts
Converting z-index without checking stacking context is a classic bug. Utilities change
classes; they do not invent a new stacking model.
Insets
Top/right/bottom/left map cleanly when values are simple. Mixed auto and length values deserve a quick layout check after paste.
Sticky and overflow
Sticky headers fail when an ancestor’s overflow is wrong. That bug is layout, not Tailwind — but conversion PRs often surface it for the first time.
Try it
.example { display: flex; gap: 1rem; padding: 1rem; }Trust note: verify output visually. The converter is a draft helper for developers.
