Tailwind CSS Checkbox

Get started on your web projects with our Tailwind CSS checkbox which is an input control that allows the user to select one or more items from a set. You can use a checkbox for:

  • Selecting one or more options from a list
  • Presenting a list containing sub-selections
  • Turning an item on/off in a desktop environment (If you have a single option, avoid using a checkbox and use an on/off checkbox instead)

See below our easy-to-use checkbox component that you can use for your Tailwind CSS project.

Basic Checkbox

Create clean and accessible checkboxes using Tailwind CSS form utilities. This example shows how to build simple checkboxes with proper spacing and clear hover states.
