CSS to Stylus Converter

The CSS to Stylus Converter turns standard CSS into Stylus syntax in your browser. It keeps the original styling logic while removing braces and semicolons, and it can optionally nest related selectors to make styles easier to read and maintain. For converting CSS to LESS syntax, use the CSS to LESS Converter.

What this tool does

• Parses valid CSS and converts declarations into Stylus property format.
• Optionally transforms related selectors into nested Stylus blocks.
• Preserves common at-rules such as @media.
• Supports direct paste, sample loading, copy, and download workflow.

Why convert CSS to Stylus?

Stylus syntax is concise and expressive, which helps reduce boilerplate in larger stylesheets. Teams often use this conversion while migrating legacy CSS or preparing styles for a Stylus-based build pipeline. For converting Stylus to Sass, check out the Stylus to Sass Converter.

Example conversion

Input CSS

.button {
  padding: 12px 16px;
  color: #fff;
}

.button:hover {
  color: #e5e7eb;
}

Output Stylus

.button
  padding 12px 16px
  color #fff

  &:hover
    color #e5e7eb

How the conversion works

1. CSS is parsed into an abstract syntax tree.
2. Selectors and declarations are extracted and normalized.
3. Declarations are rewritten in Stylus syntax.
4. When enabled, related selectors are grouped into nested blocks.
5. For the reverse process, use the Stylus to CSS Converter.
