Responsive Padding

Tailwind CSS excels in creating responsive designs with minimal effort. You can apply different paddings at various breakpoints (e.g., sm:, md:, lg:, xl:, 2xl:) to ensure your layout adapts to different screen sizes.

Example: This example adds the Responsive Padding.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content=

    <link href=

        rel="stylesheet">
</head>
  
<body class="m-4">
    <div class="p-2 md:p-4 lg:p-8 w-48 h-24 bg-green-200">
        This div's padding changes with the screen size.
    </div>
</body>
  
</html>


Output

Here, the <div> starts with a padding of 0.5rem (8px) on all sides. As the screen width reaches the md breakpoint, the padding increases to 1rem (16px), and at the lg breakpoint, it further increases to 2rem (32px).
