About LESS to CSS Converter
What is LESS?
LESS (Leaner Style Sheets) is a dynamic CSS preprocessor that extends CSS with variables, nesting, functions, mixins, and operations. It makes stylesheets more maintainable, reusable, and easier to manage, especially in large projects.
- Variables using @symbol for colors, sizes, and other values
- Nested selectors for better code organization
- Mixins for reusable style snippets
- Mathematical operations on values
- Built-in functions like lighten(), darken(), mix(), and more
- Improved readability and DRY principles
