See below our examples of image UI components.
Tailwind CSS Image Examples:
Default Image
This example displays a simple image within a scrollable, centered grid layout. The responsive design classes ensure that the layout adapts to different screen sizes, enhancing the user experience across devices.
<div class="grid min-h-[140px] w-full place-items-center overflow-x-scroll rounded-lg p-6 lg:overflow-visible">
<img
class="object-cover object-center w-full h-96"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1682407186023-12c70a4a35e0?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2832&q=80"
alt="nature image"
/>
</div>Image With Rounded Corners
Check this example to see how you can implement rounded corners for your images.
<div class="grid min-h-[140px] w-full place-items-center overflow-x-scroll rounded-lg p-6 lg:overflow-visible">
<img
class="object-cover object-center w-full rounded-lg h-96"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1682407186023-12c70a4a35e0?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2832&q=80"
alt="nature image"
/>
</div>Circular Image
Use rounded-full class to round the corners of the image into a circle. This effect will be most noticeable if the image is square; otherwise, the image will look elliptical.
<div class="grid min-h-[140px] w-full place-items-center overflow-x-scroll rounded-lg p-6 lg:overflow-visible">
<img
class="object-cover object-center rounded-full h-96 w-96"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1682407186023-12c70a4a35e0?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2832&q=80"
alt="nature image"
/>
</div>Image with Caption
Use this example if you want to include a caption below the image. Adding images with captions enriches the content and provides visual breaks in the text.
<div class="grid min-h-[140px] w-full place-items-center overflow-x-scroll rounded-lg p-6 lg:overflow-visible">
<img
class="object-cover object-center w-full rounded-lg h-96"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1682407186023-12c70a4a35e0?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2832&q=80"
alt="nature image"
/>
<div class="block mt-2 font-sans text-sm antialiased font-normal leading-normal text-center text-inherit">
Image caption
</div>
</div>Image with Shadow
In this example, the shadow-xl shadow-blue-gray-900/50 classes add a large shadow effect with a specific color (blue-gray-900) and opacity (50%). This creates a sense of depth and improves the image visually from its background, making it stand out more prominently.
<div class="grid min-h-[140px] w-full place-items-center overflow-x-scroll rounded-lg p-6 lg:overflow-visible">
<img
class="object-cover object-center w-full rounded-lg shadow-xl h-96 shadow-blue-gray-900/50"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1682407186023-12c70a4a35e0?ixlib=rb-4.0.3&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=2832&q=80"
alt="nature image"
/>
</div>Image with Blurred Caption
In the example below, the styling includes a semi-transparent white background with a blur effect (backdrop-blur-sm), making the text readable regardless of the image behind it. The border, padding, and shadow improve visibility and aesthetic appeal.
