Configuration

By default, some common aspect ratios are provided, but you can override or extend them with the aspectRatio key in your tailwind.config.js file.

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // default
    aspectRatio: {
      // Square
      "1:1": 1,
      // Landscape
      "2:1": 2 / 1,
      "3:1": 3 / 1,
      "3:2": 3 / 2,
      "4:1": 4 / 1,
      "4:3": 4 / 3,
      "5:4": 5 / 4,
      "16:9": 16 / 9,
      "16:10": 16 / 10,
      "19:10": 19 / 10,
      "21:9": 21 / 9,
      // Portrait
      "1:2": 1 / 2,
      "1:3": 1 / 3,
      "2:3": 2 / 3,
      "1:4": 1 / 4,
      "3:4": 3 / 4,
      "4:5": 4 / 5,
      "9:16": 9 / 16,
      "10:16": 10 / 16,
      "10:19": 10 / 19,
      "9:21": 9 / 21,
    },
  },
  variants: {
    // default
    aspectRatio: ["responsive"],
  },
};

Usage

The target element can only contain one child, the others will be hidden. If you need to add more child, wrap them within another element e.g., <div>

<div class="aspect-ratio-16:9">
  <img src="image.jpg" class="object-cover" />
</div>

<div class="aspect-ratio-16:9">
  <div class="text-white bg-blue-500">Aspect Ratio</div>
</div>

<!-- OK -->
<div class="aspect-ratio-16:9">
  <div>
    <p>Aspect</p>
    <p>Ratio</p>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- NOOK -->
<div class="aspect-ratio-16:9">
  <img src="image1.jpg" class="object-cover" />
  <!-- visible-->
  <img src="image2.jpg" class="object-cover" />
  <!-- hidden-->
  <img src="image3.jpg" class="object-cover" />
  <!-- hidden-->
</div>
