Because images can take a few seconds to load (or not at all), use the .image
container to specify a precisely sized container so that your layout isn't broken because of image loading or image errors.
Image
A container for responsive images

<figure class="image is-128x128">
<img src="https://versions.bulma.io/0.7.0/images/placeholders/128x128.png">
</figure>
Fixed square images #
There are 7 dimensions to choose from, useful for avatars:
image is-16x16 |
![]() |
16x16px |
image is-24x24 |
![]() |
24x24px |
image is-32x32 |
![]() |
32x32px |
image is-48x48 |
![]() |
48x48px |
image is-64x64 |
![]() |
64x64px |
image is-96x96 |
![]() |
96x96px |
image is-128x128 |
![]() |
128x128px |
Retina images #
Because the image is fixed in size, you can use an image that is twice as big. So for example, in a 128x128
container, you can use a 256x256
image, but resized to 128x128 pixels.

<figure class="image is-128x128">
<img src="https://versions.bulma.io/0.7.0/images/placeholders/256x256.png">
</figure>
Responsive images with ratios #
If you don't know the exact dimensions but know the ratio instead, you can use one of the 16 ratio modifiers, which include [common aspect ratios in still photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)#Still_photography):
image is-square |
![]() |
Square (or 1 by 1) |
image is-1by1 |
![]() |
1 by 1 |
image is-5by4 |
![]() |
5 by 4 |
image is-4by3 |
![]() |
4 by 3 |
image is-3by2 |
![]() |
3 by 2 |
image is-5by3 |
![]() |
5 by 3 |
image is-16by9 |
![]() |
16 by 9 |
image is-2by1 |
![]() |
2 by 1 |
image is-3by1 |
![]() |
3 by 1 |
image is-4by5 |
![]() |
4 by 5 |
image is-3by4 |
![]() |
3 by 4 |
image is-2by3 |
![]() |
2 by 3 |
image is-3by5 |
![]() |
3 by 5 |
image is-9by16 |
![]() |
9 by 16 |
image is-1by2 |
![]() |
1 by 2 |
image is-1by3 |
![]() |
1 by 3 |
The .image
container will take up the whole width while maintaining the perfect ratio.
