Responsive utilities
For faster mobile-friendly development, use these utility classes for showing and hiding content by device via media query. Also included are utility classes for toggling content when printed.
Try to use these on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation.
Available classes
Use a single or combination of the available classes for toggling content across viewport breakpoints.
| Extra small devices Phones (<768px) | Small devices Tablets (≥768px) | Medium devices Desktops (≥992px) | Large devices Desktops (≥1200px) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
.visible-xs-* |
Visible | Hidden | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-sm-* |
Hidden | Visible | Hidden | Hidden |
.visible-md-* |
Hidden | Hidden | Visible | Hidden |
.visible-lg-* |
Hidden | Hidden | Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-xs |
Hidden | Visible | Visible | Visible |
.hidden-sm |
Visible | Hidden | Visible | Visible |
.hidden-md |
Visible | Visible | Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-lg |
Visible | Visible | Visible | Hidden |
As of v3.2.0, the .visible-*-* classes for each breakpoint come in three variations, one for each CSS display property value listed below.
| Group of classes | CSS display |
|---|---|
.visible-*-block |
display: block; |
.visible-*-inline |
display: inline; |
.visible-*-inline-block |
display: inline-block; |
So, for extra small (xs) screens for example, the available .visible-*-* classes are: .visible-xs-block, .visible-xs-inline, and .visible-xs-inline-block.
The classes .visible-xs, .visible-sm, .visible-md, and .visible-lg also exist, but are deprecated as of v3.2.0. They are approximately equivalent to .visible-*-block, except with additional special cases for toggling <table>-related elements.
Print classes
Similar to the regular responsive classes, use these for toggling content for print.
| Classes | Browser | |
|---|---|---|
.visible-print-block
.visible-print-inline
.visible-print-inline-block |
Hidden | Visible |
.hidden-print |
Visible | Hidden |
The class .visible-print also exists but is deprecated as of v3.2.0. It is approximately equivalent to .visible-print-block, except with additional special cases for <table>-related elements.
Test cases
Resize your browser or load on different devices to test the responsive utility classes.
1. Visible on...
Green checkmarks indicate the element is visible in your current viewport.
2. Hidden on...
Here, green checkmarks also indicate the element is hidden in your current viewport.
