What is an SCSS file?

SCSS files mostly belong to Sass by Sass Team. An SCSS file is a script which Syntactially Awesome Style Sheets (Sass) style sheets preprocessor uses to generate Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for a web page. It contains style rules written in classic CSS and Sass syntax which supports interpolation, nesting, loops, and arithmetic which aren't available in standard CSS. An SCSS file containing:

@for $font-size from 1 through 4
.font-size-#$font-size
font-size: #$font-size * 8;



Compiles to a CSS file containing:

.font-size-1
font-size: 8;


.font-size-2
font-size: 16;


.font-size-3
font-size: 24;


.font-size-4
font-size: 32;

How can I open an SCSS file?

You need a suitable software like Sass to open an SCSS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SCSS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SCSS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
