title: useLightningcss
description: Enable experimental support for Lightning CSS.
version: experimental
---
Experimental support for using [Lightning CSS](https://lightningcss.dev) with webpack. Lightning CSS is a fast CSS transformer and minifier, written in Rust.
If this option is not set, Next.js on webpack uses [PostCSS](https://postcss.org/) with [`postcss-preset-env`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/postcss-preset-env) by default.
Turbopack uses Lightning CSS by default since Next 14.2. This configuration option has no effect on Turbopack. Turbopack always uses Lightning CSS.
```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
experimental: {
useLightningcss: false, // default, ignored on Turbopack
},
}
export default nextConfig
```
```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
experimental: {
useLightningcss: true, // disables PostCSS on webpack
},
}
module.exports = nextConfig
```
## Version History
| Version | Changes |
| -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `15.1.0` | Support for `useSwcCss` was removed from Turbopack. |
| `14.2.0` | Turbopack's default CSS processor was changed from `@swc/css` to Lightning CSS. `useLightningcss` became ignored on Turbopack, and a legacy `experimental.turbo.useSwcCss` option was added. |
