Tailwind CSS Images

Build image layouts with Tailwind CSS utilities for sizing, object fit, backgrounds, overlays, and galleries.

Images are block-level

In Tailwind, images and other replaced elements (like svg, video, canvas, and others) are display: block by default.

This helps to avoid unexpected alignment issues that you often run into using the browser default of display: inline.

If you ever need to make one of these elements inline instead of block, simply use the inline utility:

Image thumbnails

Use width and height utilities to control an image's rendered size.

Fixed

Use bg-fixed to fix the background image relative to the viewport.

My trip to the summit

Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me. Maybe. Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't HE deserve better?

Look. If you think this is about overdue fines and missing books, you'd better think again. This is about that kid's right to read a book without getting his mind warped! Or: maybe that turns you on, Seinfeld; maybe that's how y'get your kicks. You and your good-time buddies.

Local

Use bg-local to scroll the background image with the container's contents.

"Refreshing and Thought provoking design and it changes my view about how I design the websites. Great typography, modern clean white design, nice tones of the color."

Scroll

Use bg-scroll to keep the background image fixed to the element while its contents scroll.

"Because the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming and coming, there's never a let-up. It's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more and more. And you gotta get it out but the more you get it out the more it keeps coming in. And then the barcode reader breaks and it's Publisher's Clearing House day."
