Examples

Basic example

Use the bg-clip-border, bg-clip-padding, and bg-clip-content utilities to control the bounding box of an element's background:

<!-- [!code classes:bg-clip-border,bg-clip-padding,bg-clip-content] -->
<div class="border-4 bg-indigo-500 bg-clip-border p-3"></div>
<div class="border-4 bg-indigo-500 bg-clip-padding p-3"></div>
<div class="border-4 bg-indigo-500 bg-clip-content p-3"></div>

Cropping to text

Use the bg-clip-text utility to crop an element's background to match the shape of the text:

<!-- [!code classes:bg-clip-text] -->
<p class="bg-linear-to-r from-pink-500 to-violet-500 bg-clip-text text-5xl font-extrabold text-transparent ...">
  Hello world
</p>

Responsive design

Prefix a background-clip utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="bg-clip-border md:bg-clip-padding ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
