Utilities
Background Color
Similar to the contextual text color classes, set the background of an element to any contextual class. Background utilities do not set color
, so in some cases you’ll want to use .text-*
color utilities.
Background Gradient Color
By adding a .bg-gradient
class, a linear gradient is added as background image to the backgrounds. This gradient starts with a semi-transparent white which fades out to the bottom.
Soft Background
Similar to the contextual text color classes, set the background of an element to any contextual class. Background utilities do not set color
, so in some cases you’ll want to use .text-*
color utilities.
.bg-primary-subtle
.bg-secondary-subtle
.bg-success-subtle
.bg-danger-subtle
.bg-warning-subtle
.bg-info-subtle
.bg-light-subtle
.bg-dark-subtle
Background Gradient Color 2
Similar to the contextual text color classes, set the background of an element to any contextual class. Background utilities do not set color
, so in some cases you’ll want to use .text-*
color utilities.
.bg-primary-gradient
.bg-secondary-gradient
.bg-warning-gradient
.bg-info-gradient
.bg-success-gradient
.bg-danger-gradient
.bg-light-gradient
.bg-dark-gradient
Color & Background
Color and background helpers combine the power of our .text-*
utilities and .bg-*
utilities in one class. Using our Sass color-contrast()
function, we automatically determine a contrasting color
for a particular background-color
.
Colored links
You can use the .link-*
classes to colorize links. Unlike the .text-*
classes, these classes have a :hover
and :focus
state.
Background Opacity
background-color
utilities are generated with Sass using CSS variables. This allows for real-time color changes without compilation and dynamic alpha transparency changes.
Text Color
Colorize text with color utilities. If you want to colorize links, you can use the .link-*
helper classes which have :hover
and :focus
states.
.text-primary
.text-primary-emphasis
.text-secondary
.text-secondary-emphasis
.text-success
.text-success-emphasis
.text-danger
.text-danger-emphasis
.text-warning
.text-warning-emphasis
.text-info
.text-info-emphasis
.text-light
.text-light-emphasis
.text-dark
.text-dark-emphasis
.text-muted
.text-body
.text-body-emphasis
.text-body-secondary
.text-body-tertiary
.text-black
.text-white
.text-black-50
.text-white-50
Text Opacity Color
text color utilities are generated with Sass using CSS variables. This allows for real-time color changes without compilation and dynamic alpha transparency changes.
Opacity
The opacity
property sets the opacity level for an element. The opacity level describes the transparency level, where 1
is not transparent at all, .5
is 50% visible, and 0
is completely transparent. Set the opacity
of an element using .opacity-{value}
utilities.
Additive(Add) Border
Use border utilities to add an element’s borders. Choose from all borders or one at a time.
Subtractive(Remove) Border
Use border utilities to remove an element’s borders. Choose from all borders or one at a time.
Border Color
Change the border color using utilities built on our theme colors.
Border Width Size
Border Opacity
choose from any of the .border-opacity
utilities:
Border Subtle Color
Change the border color using utilities built on our theme colors.
Border Radius
Add classes to an element to easily round its corners.







Border Radius Size
Use the scaling classes for larger or smaller rounded corners. Sizes range from 0
to 5
.






Text Selection
Use user-select-all
, user-select-auto
, or user-select-none
class to the content which is selected when the user interacts with it.
This paragraph will be entirely selected when clicked by the user.
This paragraph has default select behavior.
This paragraph will not be selectable when clicked by the user.
Pointer Events
Bootstrap provides .pe-none
and .pe-auto
classes to prevent or add element interactions.
This link can not be clicked.
This link can be clicked (this is default behavior).
This link can not be clicked because the pointer-events
property is inherited from its parent. However, this link has a pe-auto
class and can be clicked.
Overflow
Adjust the overflow
property on the fly with four default values and classes. These classes are not responsive by default.
.overflow-auto
on an element with set width and height dimensions. By design, this content will vertically scroll.
.overflow-hidden
on an element with set width and height dimensions.
.overflow-visible
on an elementwith set width and height dimensions.
.overflow-scroll
on an elementwith set width and height dimensions.
Position in Arrange
Arrange elements easily with the edge positioning utilities. The format is {property}-{position}
.
Position in Center
In addition, you can also center the elements with the transform utility class .translate-middle
.
Position in Axis
By adding .translate-middle-x
or .translate-middle-y
classes, elements can be positioned only in horizontal or vertical direction.
Shadows
While shadows on components are disabled by default in Bootstrap and can be enabled via $enable-shadows
, you can also quickly add or remove a shadow with our box-shadow
utility classes. Includes support for .shadow-none
and three default sizes (which have associated variables to match).
Width
Width utilities are generated from the utility API in _utilities.scss
. Includes support for 25%
, 50%
, 75%
, 100%
, and auto
by default. Modify those values as you need to generate different utilities here.
Height
Height utilities are generated from the utility API in _utilities.scss
. Includes support for 25%
, 50%
, 75%
, 100%
, and auto
by default. Modify those values as you need to generate different utilities here.
Object Fit
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.

.object-fit-contain

.object-fit-cover

.object-fit-fill

.object-fit-scale

.object-fit-none
Z-index
Use z-index
utilities to stack elements on top of one another. Requires a position
value other than static
, which can be set with custom styles or using our position utilities.
