Responsive grid
Bootstrap 5 Responsive grid component
Responsive grid built with Bootstrap 5. Create flexible, intuitive layouts and enhance your web design with user-friendly, responsive grid systems.
Basic example
Bootstrap’s grid system uses a series of containers, rows, and columns to arrange and align content. It’s built with flexbox and is fully responsive. Below is an example and detailed explanation of how the grid system works.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md">
One of three columns
</div>
<div class="col-md">
One of three columns
</div>
<div class="col-md">
One of three columns
</div>
</div>
</div>
Most common examples
Few of the most common grid layout examples to get you familiar with building within the Bootstrap grid system.
Five grid tiers
There are five tiers to the Bootstrap grid system, one for each range of devices we support. Each tier starts at a minimum viewport size and automatically applies to the larger devices unless overridden.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-4">.col-lg-4</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">.col-lg-4</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">.col-lg-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xl-4">.col-xl-4</div>
<div class="col-xl-4">.col-xl-4</div>
<div class="col-xl-4">.col-xl-4</div>
</div>
Three equal columns
Get three equal-width columns starting at desktops and scaling to large desktops. On mobile devices, tablets and below, the columns will automatically stack.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
Three unequal columns
Get three columns starting at desktops and scaling to large desktops of various widths. Remember, grid columns should add up to twelve for a single horizontal block. More than that, and columns start stacking no matter the viewport.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
<div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-md-3">.col-md-3</div>
</div>
Two columns
Get two columns starting at desktops and scaling to large desktops.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">.col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
Two columns with two nested columns
Per the documentation, nesting is easy—just put a row of columns within an existing column. This gives you two columns starting at desktops and scaling to large desktops, with another two (equal widths) within the larger column.
At mobile device sizes, tablets and down, these columns and their nested columns will stack.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="pb-3">
.col-md-8
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
<div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
Mixed: mobile and desktop
The Bootstrap v5 grid system has five tiers of classes: xs (extra small, this class infix is not used), sm (small), md (medium), lg (large), and xl (extra large). You can use nearly any combination of these classes to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.
Each tier of classes scales up, meaning if you plan on setting the same widths for md, lg and xl, you only need to specify md.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">.col-md-8</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
<div class="col-6 col-md-4">.col-6 .col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
</div>
Mixed: mobile, tablet, and desktop
Get mixed grid with two and three columns starting at desktops and scaling tablet and mobile.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-8">.col-sm-6 .col-lg-8</div>
