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. They have no margin by default, so use spacing utilities as needed.

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. This is easily customized with our various sizing options.

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.

Titles, text, and links

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 tag.

Subtitles are used by adding a

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.

Kitchen sink

Mix and match multiple content types to create the card you need, or throw everything in there. Shown below are image styles, blocks, text styles, and a list group—all wrapped in a fixed-width card.

Header and footer

Add an optional header and/or footer within a card.

Card headers can be styled by adding .card-header to h* tag elements.

Sizing

Cards assume no specific width to start, so they’ll be 100% wide unless otherwise stated. You can change this as needed with custom CSS, grid classes, grid Sass mixins, or utilities.

Using grid markup

Using the grid, wrap cards in columns and rows as needed.

Using utilities

Use our handful of available sizing utilities to quickly set a card’s width.

Using custom CSS

Use custom CSS in your stylesheets or as inline styles to set a width.

Text alignment

You can quickly change the text alignment of any card—in its entirety or specific parts—with our text align classes.

Navigation

Add some navigation to a card’s header (or block) with Bootstrap’s nav components.
