you need to add the "transform" class

In order to fit in your scaled image within a fixed frame, you have to add "overflow-hidden" to your parent element.

An example below shows an image is scaled to 110% during hover and still fit within the parent frame.

<div className="overflow-hidden">
   <img className="... hover:scale-110">
      ...
   </img>
</div>

Tailwind has a scalability problem. How can we solve that?

November 29, 2023 - With variants and other CSS-in-JS tools, you can structure your styles as an object containing specific styles for one or a combination of props passed. With plain Tailwind, you can only structure your styles by constructing a string with template literals, which can quickly become unmanageable. That is not the only problem impacting scalability

The scale utility class in Tailwind CSS allows you to apply scaling transformations to elements.

To apply a scale transformation to an element, you can use the scale-{value} utility class, where {value} represents the desired scaling factor. The available values range from 0 to 100, allowing you to scale elements up or down. ... Tailwind CSS allows you to apply scale transformations responsively at different breakpoints.

r/tailwindcss on Reddit: Need help in scaling design on larger displays

July 21, 2023 -

I'm using TailwindCSS since past 6 months or so and have developed some designs in it. Recently I ran into a problem where my site was looking great till 1536px viewport size but began to shrink on 1080p and was barely readable on 4K resolution. I use Tailwind response design prefix like md, lg, 2xl etc. I thought the browser will scale up my site to adjust with the display but it's not doing it. I've even set the viewport value to width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, shrink-to-fit=no, am I missing something?

When I first ran into this problem I came up with the following solution. I can imagine there's a cleaner way, but it hasn't failed me so far and it's easy to implement. Tailwind CSS uses rem as its unit of choice, which is always based on the root element's font size . Increase the root element's font size and everything will increase in size. The goal here is to increase the root element's font size on screens wider than 1536px (2xl:*) so that everything else scales accordingly. // tailwind.config.js ... module.exports = { ... theme: { extend: { screens: { '3xl': '1920px', '4xl': '2560px', '5xl': '3840px' } } }, ... }; This will generate classes (3xl:*, 4xl:*, 5xl:*), that are only applied if the screen is wider than the specified amount of pixels. Docs: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/screens // styles.css @tailwind base; @layer base { html { @apply 2xl:text-xl 3xl:text-2xl 4xl:text-3xl 5xl:text-5xl; } } Using these generated classes you can now change the root element's font size for specific screen sizes. I recommend playing around with the values a little. The above combination of screen-sizes and font-sizes is what worked best for the application I'm currently working on (note that I've also adjusted the font-size of screens with a min-width of 1536px (2xl:*). It could also look something like this: @apply 2xl:text-xl 3xl:text-2xl 4xl:text-3xl 5xl:text-4xl; or @apply 3xl:text-xl 4xl:text-2xl 5xl:text-3xl; Side note: Try to avoid using the unit px in your code as anything using it will not scale using this solution. Even the Tailwind CSS docs make use of px, but I'd recommend using rem even in these cases. Though one good reason to use px is when you want to optimize the size of an image you want to display.
