#What is Preline UI?

Preline UI is a robust, open-source Tailwind CSS components library designed to empower developers and designers in crafting modern, responsive websites without starting from scratch. It provides a vast collection of pre-built UI elements, examples, and templates that integrate effortlessly into any Tailwind-based project, saving hours on styling and layout. Ideal for building everything from landing pages to full apps in HTML, React, or Vue, Preline stands out with its accessibility-focused components, dark mode variants, and a dedicated Figma design system for collaborative workflows. As a free resource (with optional Pro upgrades), it's perfect for indie devs, agencies, or teams seeking production-ready assets that prioritize speed, consistency, and visual polish—often praised for delivering "premium" quality at no cost.
