Examples

Floating elements to the right

  <img class="float-right ml-6 aspect-16/9 w-2/5 rounded-lg object-cover ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
  <p class="text-justify">…</p>
</article>

Floating elements to the left

<article>
  <img class="float-left mr-6 aspect-16/9 w-2/5 rounded-lg object-cover ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
  <p class="text-justify">…</p>
</article>

Using logical properties

<!-- [dir=ltr] -->
<article>
  <img class="float-start me-6 aspect-16/9 w-2/5 rounded-lg object-cover ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
  <p class="text-justify">…</p>
</article>

<!-- [dir=rtl] -->
<article dir="rtl">
  <img class="float-start me-6 aspect-16/9 w-2/5 rounded-lg object-cover ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
  <p class="text-justify">…</p>
</article>

Disabling a float

<article>
  <img class="float-none aspect-16/9 w-2/5 rounded-lg object-cover ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />
  <p class="text-justify">…</p>
</article>

Responsive design

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

<img class="float-right md:float-left ..." src="/img/mountains.jpg" />

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
