Responsive images

Images in Bootstrap 3 can be made responsive-friendly via the addition of the .img-responsive class. This applies max-width: 100%;, height: auto; and display: block; to the image so that it scales nicely to the parent element.

Center aligning images

Since .img-responsive changes the display type to display: block;, you can no longer align the image using text-align or any of the alignment classes. Instead, use .center-block on the image element itself.

SVG images and IE 8-10

In Internet Explorer 8-10, SVG images with .img-responsive are disproportionately sized. To fix this, add width: 100% \9; where necessary. Bootstrap doesn't apply this automatically as it causes complications to other image formats.

Cross-browser compatibility

Keep in mind that Internet Explorer 8 lacks support for rounded corners.
