CSS Variable Fallback Builder
Build nested CSS variable fallback chains for theme tokens.
What the CSS Variable Fallback does
Build nested CSS variable fallback chains for theme tokens. A button can read var(--button-bg, var(--brand-primary, #2563eb)) when a component token is missing Adjust the controls and the preview updates immediately, so you can dial in exactly what you want and copy the result straight into your project — no build step and no account.
One thing to keep in mind: Fallbacks make missing tokens safer but can hide naming mistakes if the chain is too long.
Private and in your browser
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, so the tool stays fast and works offline, and the copy and download buttons always use the current result shown in the output panel.
