--- layout: docs title: Figures group: content --- 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. {% example html %} <figure class="figure"> <img data-src="holder.js/400x300" class="figure-img img-fluid img-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> {% endexample %} Aligning the figure's caption is easy with our [text utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/components/utilities/#text-alignment). {% example html %} <figure class="figure"> <img data-src="holder.js/400x300" class="figure-img img-fluid img-rounded" alt="A generic square placeholder image with rounded corners in a figure."> <figcaption class="figure-caption text-xs-right">A caption for the above image.</figcaption> </figure> {% endexample %}
