Package description
The postcss-convert-values npm package is designed to optimize CSS size by converting values to use shorter forms where possible. It can reduce CSS file size by converting colors to their shorter hexadecimal or named format, transforming units, and simplifying values without changing their meaning.
Converting Length Units
Converts length values to use the shortest unit representation, removing units from zero values.
"body { margin: 0px; }" -> "body { margin: 0; }"Converting Colors
Optimizes color values by converting them to shorter named colors or hexadecimal values where possible.
".example { color: #ffffff; }" -> ".example { color: #fff; }"Simplifying Values
Removes unnecessary decimal places from numerical values to simplify and shorten them.

Readme
Convert values with PostCSS (e.g. ms -> s)
With npm do:
npm install postcss-convert-values --save
This plugin reduces CSS size by converting values to use different units
where possible; for example, 500ms can be represented as .5s. You can
read more about these units in this article.
h1 {
font-size: 16px;
width: 0em
}
h1 {
font-size: 1pc;
width: 0
}
Note that this plugin only covers conversions for duration and absolute length values. For color conversions, use [postcss-colormin][colormin].
Type: boolean
Default: true
Pass false to disable conversion from px to other absolute length units,
such as pc & pt & vice versa.
Type: boolean
Default: true
Pass false to disable conversion from ms to s & vice versa.
Type: boolean
Default: true
Pass false to disable conversion from deg to turn & vice versa.
Type: boolean|number
Default: false
Specify any numeric value here to round px values to that many decimal places;
for example, using {precision: 2} will round 6.66667px to 6.67px, and
{precision: 0} will round it to 7px. Passing false (the default) will
leave these values as is.
It is recommended for most use cases to set this option to 2.
