+nav_title: Tailwind CSS v3
+description: Style your Next.js Application using Tailwind CSS v3 for broader browser support.
+---
+
+{/* The content of this doc is shared between the app and pages router. You can use the `<PagesOnly>Content</PagesOnly>` component to add content that is specific to the Pages Router. Any shared content should not be wrapped in a component. */}
+
+This guide will walk you through how to install [Tailwind CSS v3](https://v3.tailwindcss.com/) in your Next.js application.
+
+> **Good to know:** For the latest Tailwind 4 setup, see the [Tailwind CSS setup instructions](/docs/app/getting-started/css#tailwind-css).
+
+## Installing Tailwind v3
+
+Install Tailwind CSS and its peer dependencies, then run the `init` command to generate both `tailwind.config.js` and `postcss.config.js` files:
+
+```bash package="pnpm"
+pnpm add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
+npx tailwindcss init -p
+```
+
+```bash package="npm"
+npm install -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
+npx tailwindcss init -p
+```
+
+```bash package="yarn"
+yarn add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
+npx tailwindcss init -p
+```
+
+```bash package="bun"
+bun add -D tailwindcss@^3 postcss autoprefixer
+bunx tailwindcss init -p
+```
+
+## Configuring Tailwind v3
+
+Configure your template paths in your `tailwind.config.js` file:
+
+<AppOnly>
+
+```js filename="tailwind.config.js"
+/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
+module.exports = {
+  content: [
+    './app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+    './pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+    './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+  ],
+  theme: {
+    extend: {},
+  },
+  plugins: [],
+}
+```
+
+Add the Tailwind directives to your global CSS file:
+
+```css filename="app/globals.css"
+@tailwind base;
+@tailwind components;
+@tailwind utilities;
+```
+
+Import the CSS file in your root layout:
+
+```tsx filename="app/layout.tsx" switcher
+import './globals.css'
+
+export default function RootLayout({
+  children,
+}: {
+  children: React.ReactNode
+}) {
+  return (
+    <html lang="en">
+      <body>{children}</body>
+    </html>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+```jsx filename="app/layout.js" switcher
+import './globals.css'
+
+export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <html lang="en">
+      <body>{children}</body>
+    </html>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+</AppOnly>
+
+<PagesOnly>
+
+```js filename="tailwind.config.js"
+/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
+module.exports = {
+  content: [
+    './pages/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+    './components/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+    './app/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mdx}',
+  ],
+  theme: {
+    extend: {},
+  },
+  plugins: [],
+}
+```
+
+Add the Tailwind directives to your global CSS file:
+
+```css filename="styles/globals.css"
+@tailwind base;
+@tailwind components;
+@tailwind utilities;
+```
+
+Import the CSS file in your `pages/_app.js` file:
+
+```jsx filename="pages/_app.js"
+import '@/styles/globals.css'
+
+export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
+  return <Component {...pageProps} />
+}
+```
+
+</PagesOnly>
+
+## Using classes
+
+After installing Tailwind CSS and adding the global styles, you can use Tailwind's utility classes in your application.
+
+<AppOnly>
+
+```tsx filename="app/page.tsx" switcher
+export default function Page() {
+  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
+}
+```
+
+```jsx filename="app/page.js" switcher
+export default function Page() {
+  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
+}
+```
+
+</AppOnly>
+
+<PagesOnly>
+
+```tsx filename="pages/index.tsx" switcher
+export default function Page() {
+  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
+}
+```
+
+```jsx filename="pages/index.js" switcher
+export default function Page() {
+  return <h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">Hello, Next.js!</h1>
+}
+```
+
+</PagesOnly>
+
