Examples

Basic example

Use the bg-origin-border, bg-origin-padding, and bg-origin-content utilities to control where an element's background is rendered:

<!-- [!code classes:bg-origin-border,bg-origin-padding,bg-origin-content] -->
<div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-border p-3 ..."></div>
<div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-padding p-3 ..."></div>
<div class="border-4 bg-[url(/img/mountains.jpg)] bg-origin-content p-3 ..."></div>

Responsive design

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

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