Object fit

How it works

Change the value of the object-fit property with our responsive object-fit utility classes. This property tells the content to fill the parent container in a variety of ways, such as preserving the aspect ratio or stretching to take up as much space as possible.

Classes for the value of object-fit are named using the format .object-fit-{value}. Choose from the following values:

• contain
• cover
• fill
• scale (for scale-down)
• none

Examples

Add the object-fit-{value} class to the replaced element:

<Example class="d-flex overflow-auto" code={<Placeholder width="140" height="120" class="object-fit-contain border rounded" text="Object fit contain" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="120" class="object-fit-cover border rounded" text="Object fit cover" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="120" class="object-fit-fill border rounded" text="Object fit fill" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="120" class="object-fit-scale border rounded" text="Object fit scale down" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="120" class="object-fit-none border rounded" text="Object fit none" markup="img" />} />

Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each object-fit value using the format .object-fit-{breakpoint}-{value}, for the following breakpoint abbreviations: sm, md, lg, xl, and xxl. Classes can be combined for various effects as you need.

<Example class="d-flex overflow-auto" code={<Placeholder width="140" height="80" class="object-fit-sm-contain border rounded" text="Contain on sm" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="80" class="object-fit-md-contain border rounded" text="Contain on md" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="80" class="object-fit-lg-contain border rounded" text="Contain on lg" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="80" class="object-fit-xl-contain border rounded" text="Contain on xl" markup="img" /> <Placeholder width="140" height="80" class="object-fit-xxl-contain border rounded" text="Contain on xxl" markup="img" />} />

Video

The .object-fit-{value} and responsive .object-fit-{breakpoint}-{value} utilities also work on <video> elements.

<video src="..." class="object-fit-contain" autoplay></video>
<video src="..." class="object-fit-cover" autoplay></video>
<video src="..." class="object-fit-fill" autoplay></video>
<video src="..." class="object-fit-scale" autoplay></video>
<video src="..." class="object-fit-none" autoplay></video>
