Tailwind breakpoints
9 February 2026 (Updated 12 February 2026)
Tailwind’s default breakpoints are these:
| Breakpoint | Minimum width |
|---|---|
sm | 640px |
md | 768px |
lg | 1024px |
xl | 1280px |
2xl | 1536px |
You can customise or add additional breakpoints by adding theme variables to the --breakpoint-* namespace.
For example, this is the default set of breakpoint variables in the default Tailwind theme.css file:
--breakpoint-sm: 40rem;
--breakpoint-md: 48rem;
--breakpoint-lg: 64rem;
--breakpoint-xl: 80rem;
--breakpoint-2xl: 96rem;
You can add an additional breakpoint like so:
--breakpoint-3xl: 112rem;
