## Responsive images

Images in Bootstrap are made responsive with `.img-fluid`. This applies `max-width: 100%;` and `height: auto;` to the image so that it scales with the parent width.

## Image thumbnails

In addition to our [border-radius utilities](/docs/utilities/borders), you can use `.img-thumbnail` to give an image a rounded 1px border appearance.

## Aligning images

Align images with the [helper float classes](/docs/utilities/float) or [text alignment classes](/docs/utilities/text#text-alignment). `block`-level images can be centered using [the `.mx-auto` margin utility class](/docs/utilities/spacing#horizontal-centering).

## Picture

If you are using the `<picture>` element to specify multiple `<source>` elements for a specific `<img>`, make sure to add the `.img-*` classes to the `<img>` and not to the `<picture>` tag.

```html
<picture>
  <source srcset="..." type="image/svg+xml" />
  <img src="..." class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" alt="..." />
</picture>
```

Responsive images

Images in Bootstrap are made responsive with .img-fluid. This applies max-width: 100%; and height: auto; to the image so that it scales with the parent width.

Image thumbnails

In addition to our border-radius utilities, you can use .img-thumbnail to give an image a rounded 1px border appearance.
