object-contain Class

This class is used to replace the image and preserves the aspect ratio of the original image while fitting within the content box. Resize an element's content to stay contained within its container.

Syntax:

<element class="object-contain">...</element>

Example 1: This example demonstrates the use of the .object-contain class.

Output:

object-cover Class

This class preserves the aspect ratio of the original image as the replaced image while fitting in the content box. Sometimes it is clipped to fit when the aspect ratio of the original image doesn’t match with the aspect ratio of the content box. Resize an element's content to cover its container using this class.

Syntax:

<element class="object-cover">...</element>

Example 2: This example demonstrates the use of the .object-cover class.

Output:

object-fill Class

This class replaced image is stretched to fit the content box. The replaced image will completely fill the box needless of its aspect ratio. Stretch an element's content to fit its container using the class.

Syntax:

<element class="object-fill">...</element>

Example 3: This example demonstrates the use of the .object-fill class.

Output:

object-none Class

In this class, the replaced image will ignore the aspect ratio of the original image. Hence, it is not resized. The class displays an element's content at its original size ignoring the container size.

Syntax:

<element class="object-none">...</element>

Example 4: This example demonstrates the use of the .object-none class.

Output:

object-scale-down

This class replaced image is resized as if none or contain were specified and results in the smallest object size. The class displays an element's content at its original size but scale it down to fit its container.

Syntax:

<element class="object-scale-down">...</element>

Example 5: This example demonstrates the use of the .object-scale-down class.

Output:
