Use the utilities to specify which properties should transition when they change.

Prefers-reduced-motion
For situations where the user has specified that they prefer reduced motion, you can conditionally apply animations and transitions using the motion-safe
and motion-reduce
variants:
<button class="transition transform hover:-translate-y-1 motion-reduce:transition-none motion-reduce:hover:transform-none ...">
</button>
Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use to only apply the transition-all
utility on hover.
For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.
Breakpoints and media queries
You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:transition-all
to apply the transition-all
utility at only medium screen sizes and above.
<div class="md:transition-all">
<!-- ... -->
By default, Tailwind provides transition-property utilities for seven common property combinations. You can customize these values by editing theme.transitionProperty
or theme.extend.transitionProperty
in your tailwind.config.js
file.

Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.
Arbitrary values
If you need to use a one-off transition-property
value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.
<div class="transition-[height]">
</div>
