Examples

See the data for more conversions. This data is courtesy of Mozilla.

Convert initial values

When the initial keyword is longer than the property value, it will be converted:

Input

h1 {
  min-width: initial;
}

Output

h1 {
  min-width: 0;
}

Convert values back to initial

When the initial value is smaller than the property value, it will be converted:

Input

h1 {
  transform-box: border-box;
}

Output

h1 {
  transform-box: initial;
}

This conversion is only applied when you supply a browsers list that all support the initial keyword; it's worth noting that Internet Explorer has no support.
