# Figures

Documentation and examples for displaying related images and text with the figure component in Bootstrap.

Anytime you need to display a piece of content—like an image with an optional caption, consider using a `<figure>`.

Use the included `.figure` , `.figure-img` and `.figure-caption` classes to provide some baseline styles for the HTML5 `<figure>` and `<figcaption>` elements. Images in figures have no explicit size, so be sure to add the `.img-fluid` class to your `<img>` to make it responsive.

    <figure class="figure">
      <img src="..." class="figure-img img-fluid rounded" alt="A generic square placeholder image with rounded corners in a figure.">
      <figcaption class="figure-caption">A caption for the above image.</figcaption>
    </figure>

Aligning the figure’s caption is easy with our text utilities.
