version: experimental
---

Experimental support for using [Lightning CSS](https://lightningcss.dev), a fast CSS bundler and minifier, written in Rust.
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: true,
useLightningcss: false, // default, ignored on Turbopack
},
}
