Object Fit

Utilities for controlling how a replaced element’s content should be resized.

Default class reference

Contain

Resize an element’s content to stay contained within its container using .object-contain.

1. <div class="bg-rose-300 ...">
2. <img class="object-contain h-48 w-full ...">
3. </div>

Cover

Resize an element’s content to cover its container using .object-cover.

1. <div class="bg-indigo-300 ...">
2. <img class="object-cover h-48 w-full ...">
3. </div>

Fill

Stretch an element’s content to fit its container using .object-fill.

1. <div class="bg-light-blue-300 ...">
2. <img class="object-fill h-48 w-full ...">
3. </div>

None

Display an element’s content at its original size ignoring the container size using .object-none.

1. <div class="bg-yellow-300">
2. <img class="object-none h-48 w-full ...">
3. </div>

Scale Down

Display an element’s content at its original size but scale it down to fit its container if necessary using .object-scale-down.

1. <div class="bg-green-300">
2. <img class="object-scale-down h-48 w-full ...">
3. </div>

Responsive

To control how a replaced element’s content should be resized only at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing object fit utility. For example, adding the class md:object-scale-down to an element would apply the object-scale-down utility at medium screen sizes and above.

1. <div>
2. <img class="object-contain md:object-scale-down ..." src="...">
3. </div>

Customizing

Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for object-fit utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the object-fit utilities by modifying the objectFit property in the variants section of your tailwind.config.js file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. variants: {
4. extend: {
5. // ...
6. +       objectFit: ['hover', 'focus'],
7. }
8. }
9. }

Disabling

If you don’t plan to use the object-fit utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the objectFit property to false in the corePlugins section of your config file:

1. // tailwind.config.js
2. module.exports = {
3. corePlugins: {
4. // ...
5. +     objectFit: false,
6. }
7. }
