Drag the textarea handle in the demo to see the expected behavior

<textarea class="resize rounded-md ..."></textarea>

Resizing vertically

Use resize-y to make an element vertically resizable:

Drag the textarea handle in the demo to see the expected behavior

<textarea class="resize-y rounded-md ..."></textarea>

Resizing horizontally

Use resize-x to make an element horizontally resizable:

Drag the textarea handle in the demo to see the expected behavior

<textarea class="resize-x rounded-md ..."></textarea>

Prevent resizing

Use resize-none to prevent an element from being resizable:

Notice that the textarea handle is gone

<textarea class="resize-none rounded-md"></textarea>

Responsive design

Prefix a resize utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="resize-none md:resize ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
