html
<div class="max-w-[300] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off max-width 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.

html
<div class="max-w-[50]">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Applying conditionally

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:max-w-lg to apply the max-w-lg utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

html
<div class="max-w-sm md:max-w-lg">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
