Usage

Control the stack order (or three-dimensional positioning) of an element in Tailwind, regardless of order it has been displayed, using the .z-{index} utilities.

Responsive

To control the z-index of an element at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing z-index utility. For example, use md:z-50 to apply the z-50 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

Customizing

Z-Index Scale

By default Tailwind provides six numeric z-index utilities and an auto utility. You change, add, or remove these by editing the zIndex section of your Tailwind config.

Responsive and State Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for z-index utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the z-index utilities by modifying the zIndex property in the modules section of your Tailwind config file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the z-index utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the zIndex property to false in the modules section of your config file:
