Cards
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.
Contents
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. This is easily customized with our various sizing options.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<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.
Blocks
The building block of a card is the .card-block. Use it whenever you need a padded section within a card.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
This is some text within a card block.
</div>
</div> 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 a <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-block item, the card title and subtitle are aligned nicely.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">Card subtitle</h6>
<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="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.
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<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>
</div>
</div> List groups
Create lists of content in a card with a flush list group.
<div class="card">
<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> 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.
<div class="card" style="width: 20rem;">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<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>
</div>
<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 class="card-block">
<a href="#" class="card-link">Card link</a>
<a href="#" class="card-link">Another link</a>
</div>
</div> Header and footer
Add an optional header and/or footer within a card.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">
Featured
</div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div> Card headers can be styled by adding .card-header to <h*> elements.
<div class="card">
<h3 class="card-header">Featured</h3>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>

</div> 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.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h3 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h3>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>

<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div> Navigation
Add some navigation to a card’s header (or block) with Bootstrap’s nav components.
<div class="card text-center">
<div class="card-header">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs card-header-tabs">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h4>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>

<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</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.
<div class="card mb-3">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
<img class="card-img-bottom" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
</div> 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 .card-inverse (see below).
<div class="card card-inverse">
<img class="card-img" src="..." alt="Card image">
<div class="card-img-overlay">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div> Card styles
Cards include various options for customizing their backgrounds, borders, and color.
Inverted text
By default, cards use dark text and assume a light background. You can reverse that by toggling the color of text within, as well as that of the card’s subcomponents, with .card-inverse. Then, specify a dark background-color and border-color to go with it.
You can also use .card-inverse with the contextual backgrounds variants.
<div class="card card-inverse" style="background-color: #333; border-color: #333;">
<div class="card-block">
<h3 class="card-title">Special title treatment</h3>
<p class="card-text">With supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div> Background variants
Cards include their own variant classes for quickly changing the background-color and border-color of a card. Darker colors require the use of .card-inverse.
<div class="card card-inverse card-primary mb-3 text-center">
<div class="card-block">

</div>
</div> Conveying meaning to assistive technologies
Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-only class.
Outline cards
In need of a colored card, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the .card-outline-* ones to style just the border-color of a card.
<div class="card card-outline-primary mb-3 text-center">
<div class="card-block">

</div>
</div> Card layout
In addition to styling the content within cards, Bootstrap includes a few options for laying out series of cards. For the time being, these layout options are not yet responsive.
Card groups
Use card groups to render cards as a single, attached element with equal width and height columns. Card groups use display: flex; to achieve their uniform sizing.
<div class="card-group">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action.</p>
<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
</div> When using card groups with footers, their content will automatically line up.
<div class="card-group">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>

</div>
<div class="card-footer">
<small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small>
</div>
</div>
</div> Card decks
Need a set of equal width and height cards that aren’t attached to one another? Use card decks.
<div class="card-deck">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>

<p class="card-text"><small class="text-muted">Last updated 3 mins ago</small></p>
</div>
</div>
</div> Just like with card groups, card footers in decks will automatically line up.
<div class="card-deck">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title</h4>

</div>
</div>
</div> Card columns
Cards can be organized into Masonry-like columns with just CSS by wrapping them in .card-columns. Cards are built with CSS column properties instead of flexbox for easier alignment. Cards are ordered from top to bottom and left to right.
Heads up! Your mileage with card columns may vary. To prevent cards breaking across columns, we must set them to display: inline-block as column-break-inside: avoid isn’t a bulletproof solution yet.
<div class="card-columns">
<div class="card">
<img class="card-img-top img-fluid" src="..." alt="Card image cap">
<div class="card-block">
<h4 class="card-title">Card title that wraps to a new line</h4>
<p class="card-text">This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.</p>

</div>
</div>
</div> Card columns can also be extended and customized with some additional code. Shown below is an extension of the .card-columns class using the same CSS we use—CSS columns— to generate a set of responsive tiers for changing the number of columns.
.card-columns {
@include media-breakpoint-only(lg) {
column-count: 4;
}
@include media-breakpoint-only(xl) {
column-count: 5;
}
}
