Documentation and examples for opting images into responsive behavior (so they never become wider than their parent) and add lightweight styles to them—all via classes.

Responsive images

Images in Bootstrap are made responsive with .img-fluid. This applies max-width: 100%; and height: auto; to the image so that it scales with the parent width.

<img src="..." class="img-fluid" alt="...">

Image thumbnails

In addition to our border-radius utilities, you can use .img-thumbnail to give an image a rounded 1px border appearance.

Aligning images

Align images with the helper float classes or text alignment classes. block-level images can be centered using the .mx-auto margin utility class.

Image ratios

With OpenFrontend.Framework, managing the aspect ratios of your images has become even more convenient. This approach provides you with better control and flexibility towards your design needs.

To apply the desired aspect ratio to an image, use the classes in conjunction with .aspect and .object-fit-cover. The .aspect class sets the container’s aspect ratio, while .object-fit-cover ensures the image scales to fit its container without distortion.

Please refer to the Aspect Ratios helper at this link for the available classes and their corresponding aspect ratios.

Picture

If you are using the <picture> element to specify multiple <source> elements for a specific <img>, make sure to add the .img-* classes to the <img> and not to the <picture> tag.

  <source srcset="..." type="image/svg+xml">
  <img src="..." class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" alt="...">
