A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options.
Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Bootstrap components. They have no margin by default, so use spacing utilities as needed.
Example
Section titled “Example”Below is an example of a basic card with mixed content. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they’ll naturally fill the full width of its parent element. This is easily customized with our various sizing options.
Adding a Card
Section titled “Adding a Card”With an empty column, click on the add sign inside the column. This opens a context menu where the card can be selected. The result is as in the example shown above.
Content Types
Section titled “Content Types”Cards support a wide variety of content, including images, text, list groups, links, and more. Below are examples of what’s supported.
The building block of a card is the .card-body . Use it whenever you need a padded section within a card.
Titles
Section titled “Titles”Card titles are used by adding .card-title to a <h*> Heading tag.

Card Layout
Section titled “Card Layout”In addition to styling the content within cards, Bootstrap includes a few options for laying out series of cards.
Card Groups
Section titled “Card Groups”Use card groups to render cards as a single, attached element with equal width and height columns. Card groups start off stacked and use display: flex; to become attached with uniform dimensions starting at the sm breakpoint. For the time being, this layout option is not yet responsive .
To create a Card Group, click the add-inside-button, select Cards and Card Group
Step 63
Section titled “Step 63”Inside the Card Group, add three Cards. When using card groups with footers, their content will automatically line up.
Grid Cards
Section titled “Grid Cards”Use the Bootstrap grid system and its.row-cols classes to control how many grid columns (wrapped around your cards) you show per row. For example, here’s .row-cols-3 splitting three cards to equal width across multiple rows. This is the preferred layout method for multiple cards.
Adding a gutter of 4 to the Y axis, will add a space between the rows.
Section titled “Adding a gutter of 4 to the Y axis, will add a space between the rows.”
When you need equal height, add .h-100 to the cards.
