Cards

Bootstrap's cards provide a flexible and extensible content container with multiple variants and options.

About

A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options. If you’re familiar with Bootstrap 3, cards replace our old panels, wells, and thumbnails. Similar functionality to those components is available as modifier classes for cards.

Example

Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Bootstrap components.

Below is an example of a basic card with mixed content and a fixed width. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they’ll naturally fill the full width of its parent element.

<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
  <img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
  <div class="card-body">
    <h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
    <p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Content types

Cards support a wide variety of content, including images, text, list groups, links, and more. Below are examples of what’s supported.

Body

The building block of a card is the .card-body. Use it whenever you need a padded section within a card.

This is some text within a card body.
<div class="card">
  <div class="card-body">
    This is some text within a card body.
  </div>
</div>

Card titles are used by adding .card-title to a <h*> tag. In the same way, links are added and placed next to each other by adding .card-link to an <a> tag.

Subtitles are used by adding a .card-subtitle to a <h*> tag. If the .card-title and the .card-subtitle items are placed in a .card-body item, the card title and subtitle are aligned nicely.

    <a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
    <a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
  </div>
</div>

Images

.card-img-top places an image to the top of the card. With .card-text, text can be added to the card. Text within .card-text can also be styled with the standard HTML tags.

List groups

Create lists of content in a card with a flush list group.

  • Cras justo odio
  • Dapibus ac facilisis in
  • Vestibulum at eros
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
  <ul class="list-group list-group-flush">
    <li class="list-group-item">Cras justo odio</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Dapibus ac facilisis in</li>
    <li class="list-group-item">Vestibulum at eros</li>
  </ul>
</div>

Images

Cards include a few options for working with images. Choose from appending “image caps” at either end of a card, overlaying images with card content, or simply embedding the image in a card.

Image caps

Similar to headers and footers, cards can include top and bottom “image caps”—images at the top or bottom of a card.

Image overlays

Turn an image into a card background and overlay your card’s text. Depending on the image, you may or may not need additional styles or utilities.
