Utilities for scaling elements with transform.
Control the scale of an element by first enabling transforms with the transform
utility, then specifying the scale using the scale-{percentage}
, scale-x-{percentage}
, and scale-y-{percentage}
utilities.
<img class="transform scale-75 ...">
<img class="transform scale-100 ...">
<img class="transform scale-125 ...">
<img class="transform scale-150 ...">
Note that because Tailwind implements transforms using CSS custom properties, the transform utilities are not supported in older browsers like IE11. If you need transforms for your project and need to support older browsers, add your own utilities or other custom CSS.
To control the scale of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}:
prefix to any existing scale utility. For example, use md:scale-75
to apply the scale-75
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<div class="transform scale-100 md:scale-75"></div>

By default Tailwind provides ten general purpose scale utilities. You change, add, or remove these by editing the theme.scale
section of your Tailwind config.
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
theme: {
scale: {
'0': '0',
+ '25': '.25',
'50': '.5',
'75': '.75',
'90': '.9',
- '95': '.95',
'100': '1',
- '105': '1.05',
- '110': '1.1',
'125': '1.25',
'150': '1.5',
+ '200': '2',
}
}
}
Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.
By default, only responsive, hover and focus variants are generated for scale utilities.
You can control which variants are generated for the scale utilities by modifying the scale
property in the variants
section of your tailwind.config.js
file.
For example, this config will also generate active and group-hover variants:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
variants: {
extend: {
// ...
+ scale: ['active', 'group-hover'],
}
}
}
If you don't plan to use the scale utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the scale
property to false
in the corePlugins
section of your config file:
// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
corePlugins: {
// ...
+ scale: false,
}
}
