Why use this tool

  • Five formats covered: LESS, SCSS, SASS (indented), Stylus, and plain CSS.
  • Real compilers used where possible: <code class="rounded bg-slate-100 px-1 text-xs dark:bg-slate-800">less</code>, <code class="rounded bg-slate-100 px-1 text-xs dark:bg-slate-800">sass</code>, <code class="rounded bg-slate-100 px-1 text-xs dark:bg-slate-800">stylus</code> for the "to CSS" paths.
  • Heuristic transforms for the other paths (variable sigil swap, brace/indent reshape) — fast, but not a full transpile.
  • Pure client-side — your stylesheet never leaves the browser.

Frequently asked questions

Which conversions use a real compiler?

LESS to CSS, SCSS to CSS, SASS to CSS, and Stylus to CSS use the official compilers. Everything else uses a heuristic — sigil swap (@ vs $) and brace/indent reshape.

Why is SCSS-to-LESS only heuristic?

There is no native SCSS-to-LESS compiler. Mixins, control directives, and built-in functions differ between the two. We swap variable sigils and warn — manual cleanup may be needed.

What happens if a library fails to load?

The tool degrades gracefully and returns the input with a "library unavailable" comment. It will never crash the page.
