Grid System

How it works

Bootstrap’s grid system uses a series of containers, rows, and columns to layout and align content. It’s built with flexbox and is fully responsive. Below is an example and an in-depth look at how the grid comes together.

One of three columns

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm">
            One of three columns
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm">
            One of three columns
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm">
            One of three columns
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
Equal width

For example, here are two grid layouts that apply to every device and viewport, from xs to xl. Add any number of unit-less classes for each breakpoint you need and every column will be the same width.

1 of 2
2 of 2 
<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col">
            1 of 2
        </div>
        <div class="col">
            2 of 2
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
Grid options

While Bootstrap uses ems or rems for defining most sizes, pxs are used for grid breakpoints and container widths. This is because the viewport width is in pixels and does not change with the font size.

See how aspects of the Bootstrap grid system work across multiple devices with a handy table.

Vertical Alignment

Use flexbox alignment utilities to vertically and horizontally align columns.

Center
End 
<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col align-self-start">
            Start
        </div>
        <div class="col align-self-center">
            Center
        </div>
        <div class="col align-self-end">
            End
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
