Get started with a collection of responsive image components coded with the utility classes from Tailwind CSS that you can use inside articles, cards, sections, and other components based on multiple styles, sizes, layouts, and hover animations.
## Default image
Use this example to show the a responsive image that won't grow beyond the maximum original width.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-full" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Image caption
This example can be used to add a caption for the image often used inside articles.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<figure class="max-w-lg">
<img class="h-auto max-w-full rounded-base" src="/docs/images/examples/image-3@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
<figcaption class="mt-2 text-sm text-center text-body">Image caption</figcaption>
</figure>
{{< /example >}}
## Rounded corners
Apply rounded corners to the image by using the specific utility classes from Tailwind CSS.
### Border radius
Use this example to apply rounded corners to the image by using the `rounded-{size}` class where the size can be anything from small to extra large.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg rounded-base" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Full circle
Use this example to mask the image inside a circle using the `rounded-full` utility class from Tailwind CSS.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="rounded-full w-96 h-96" src="/docs/images/examples/image-4@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Image shadow
This example can be used to show a shadow effect for the image using the `shadow-{size}` utility class.
{{< example class="flex justify-center pb-8" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-xl rounded-base shadow-xl dark:shadow-gray-800" src="/docs/images/examples/image-2@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Retina-ready
Use the `srcset` attribute to set Retina-ready images with double resolution.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img srcset="/docs/images/examples/image-1.jpg 1x, /docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg 2x" class="w-full h-auto max-w-xl rounded-base" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Image card
Use this example to make the image a card item with a link and a short text description.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<figure class="relative max-w-sm transition-all duration-300 cursor-pointer filter grayscale hover:grayscale-0">
<a href="#">
<img class="rounded-base" src="https://flowbite.s3.amazonaws.com/blocks/marketing-ui/content/content-gallery-3.png" alt="image description">
</a>
<figcaption class="absolute px-4 text-lg text-white bottom-6">
<p>Do you want to get notified when a new component is added to Flowbite?</p>
</figcaption>
</figure>
{{< /example >}}
## Image effects
Use image effects such as grayscale or blur to change the appearances of the image when being hovered.
### Grayscale
Use the filter option and apply a grayscale to the image element using the `grayscale` class.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg transition-all duration-300 rounded-base cursor-pointer filter grayscale hover:grayscale-0" src="https://flowbite.s3.amazonaws.com/blocks/marketing-ui/content/content-gallery-3.png" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Blur
Apply a blur by using the `blur-{size}` utility class from Tailwind CSS to an image component.
{{< example class="flex justify-center" github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg transition-all duration-300 rounded-base blur-xs hover:blur-none" src="https://flowbite.s3.amazonaws.com/blocks/marketing-ui/content/content-gallery-3.png" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Alignment
Align the image component to the left, center or right side of the document page using margin styles.
### Left
By default, the image component will be aligned to the left side of the page.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Center
Horizontally align the image to the center of the page using the `mx-auto` class.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg mx-auto" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Right
Use the `ml-auto` (or `ms-auto`) class to align the image to the right side of the page.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-lg ms-auto" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
## Sizes
Set the size of the image using the `w-{size}` and `h-{size}` or `max-w-{size}` utility classes from Tailwind CSS to set the width and height of the element.
### Small
Use the `max-w-xs` class to set a small size of the image.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-xs" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Medium
Use the `max-w-md` class to set a medium size of the image.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-md" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Large
Use the `max-w-xl` class to set a large size of the image.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-xl" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
{{< /example >}}
### Full width
Use the `max-w-full` class to set the full width of the image as long as it doesn't become larger than the original source.
{{< example github="typography/images.md" show_dark=true >}}
<img class="h-auto max-w-full" src="/docs/images/examples/image-1@2x.jpg" alt="image description">
