Examples

Basic example

Use min-h-<number> utilities like min-h-24 and min-h-64 to set an element to a fixed minimum height based on the spacing scale:

min-h-96

min-h-80

min-h-64

min-h-48

min-h-40

min-h-32

min-h-24

<div class="h-20 ...">
  <div class="min-h-96 ...">min-h-96</div>
  <div class="min-h-80 ...">min-h-80</div>
  <div class="min-h-64 ...">min-h-64</div>
  <div class="min-h-48 ...">min-h-48</div>
  <div class="min-h-40 ...">min-h-40</div>
  <div class="min-h-32 ...">min-h-32</div>
  <div class="min-h-24 ...">min-h-24</div>
</div>

Using a percentage

Use min-h-full or min-h-<fraction> utilities like min-h-1/2 and min-h-3/4 to give an element a percentage-based minimum height:

min-h-full

min-h-9/10

min-h-3/4

min-h-1/2

min-h-1/3

<div class="flex h-96 items-end gap-4 ...">
  <div class="min-h-full w-8 ...">min-h-full</div>
  <div class="min-h-9/10 w-8 ...">min-h-9/10</div>
  <div class="min-h-3/4 w-8 ...">min-h-3/4</div>
  <div class="min-h-1/2 w-8 ...">min-h-1/2</div>
  <div class="min-h-1/3 w-8 ...">min-h-1/3</div>
</div>

Matching the viewport

Use the min-h-screen utility to make an element span at least the entire height of the viewport:

<div class="min-h-screen">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Alternatively, you can match the height of the large, small or dynamic viewports using the min-h-lvh, min-h-svh, and min-h-dvh utilities.

Resetting the minimum height

Use the min-h-0 utility to remove an element's assigned minimum height under a specific condition, like at a particular breakpoint:

<div class="h-24 min-h-0 md:min-h-full">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Using a custom value

Use the min-h-[<value>] syntax to set the minimum height based on a completely custom value:

<div class="min-h-[220px] ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the min-h-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="min-h-(--my-min-height) ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

This is just a shorthand for min-h-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

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

<div class="h-24 min-h-0 md:min-h-full ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Customizing your theme

The min-h-<number> utilities are driven by the --spacing theme variable, which can be customized in your own theme:
