Bootstrap 5 Grid Examples
Below we have collected some examples of Bootstrap 5 grid layouts.
Three Equal Columns
Use the .col class on a specified number of elements and Bootstrap will recognize how many elements there are (and create equal-width columns). In the example below, we use three col elements, which gets a width of 33.33% each.
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col">col</div>
<div class="col">col</div>
<div
class="col">col</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Three Equal Columns Using Numbers
You can also use numbers to control the column width. Just make sure that the sum adds up to 12 or fewer (it is not required that you use all 12 available columns):
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">col-4</div>
<div class="col-4">col-4</div>
<div
class="col-4">col-4</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Three Unequal columns
To create unequal columns, you have to use numbers. The following example will create a 25%/50%/25% split:
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-3">col-3</div>
<div class="col-6">col-6</div>
<div
class="col-3">col-3</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Setting One Column Width
However, it is enough to only set the width of one column, and have the sibling columns automatically resize around it. The following example will create a 25%/50%/25% split:
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col">col</div>
<div class="col-6">col-6</div>
<div
class="col">col</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »More Equal Columns
Example
<!-- Two equal columns -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1 of 2</div>
<div class="col">2 of 2</div>
</div>
<!-- Four equal columns -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1 of 4</div>
<div class="col">2 of 4</div>
<div class="col">3
of 4</div>
<div class="col">4 of 4</div>
</div>
<!-- Six equal columns -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1 of 6</div>
<div class="col">2 of 6</div>
<div class="col">3
of 6</div>
<div class="col">4 of 6</div>
<div class="col">5
of 6</div>
<div class="col">6 of 6</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Row Cols
You can also control how many columns that should appear next to each other (regardless of how many cols), with the .row-cols-* classes:
Example
<div class="row row-cols-1">
<div class="col">1 of 2</div>
<div class="col">2 of 2</div>
</div>
<div class="row row-cols-2">
<div class="col">1 of 4</div>
<div class="col">2 of 4</div>
<div class="col">3
of 4</div>
<div class="col">4 of 4</div>
</div>
<div class="row row-cols-3">
<div class="col">1 of 6</div>
<div class="col">2 of 6</div>
<div class="col">3
of 6</div>
<div class="col">4 of 6</div>
<div class="col">5
of 6</div>
<div class="col">6 of 6</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »More Unequal Columns
Example
<!-- Two Unequal
Columns -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8">1 of 2</div>
<div class="col-4">2 of 2</div>
</div>
<!-- Four Unequal Columns -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-2">1 of 4</div>
<div class="col-2">2 of 4</div>
<div class="col-2">3
of 4</div>
<div class="col-6">4 of 4</div>
</div>
<!-- Setting two column widths -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">1 of 4</div>
<div class="col-6">2 of 4</div>
<div class="col">3
of 4</div>
<div class="col">4 of 4</div>
</div>
Try it Yourself »Equal Height
If one of the column is taller than the other (due to text or CSS height), the rest will follow:
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col">Lorem ipsum...</div>
<div class="col">col</div>
<div class="col">col</div>
</div>

Nested Columns
The following example shows how to create a two column layout, with another two columns inside one of the columns:
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8">
.col-8
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
<div class="col-6">.col-6</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-4">.col-4</div>
</div>

Responsive Classes
The Bootstrap 5 grid system has five classes:
.col-(extra small devices - screen width less than 576px).col-sm-(small devices - screen width equal to or greater than 576px).col-md-(medium devices - screen width equal to or greater than 768px).col-lg-(large devices - screen width equal to or greater than 992px).col-xl-(xlarge devices - screen width equal to or greater than 1200px).col-xxl-(xxl devices - screen width equal to or greater than 1400px)
The classes above can be combined to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.
Tip: Each class scales up, so if you wish to set the same widths for
sm and md, you only need to specify sm.
Stacked to Horizontal
The following example shows how to create a column layout that starts out stacked on extra small devices, before becoming horizontal on larger devices (sm, md, lg and xl):
Example
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-9">col-sm-9</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">col-sm-3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div
class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
<div class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
<div class="col-sm">col-sm</div>
</div>

Mix and Match
Example
<!-- 50%/50% split on extra small devices and 75%/25% split on larger devices
-->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6
col-sm-9">col-6 col-sm-9</div>
<div class="col-6
col-sm-3">col-6 col-sm-3</div>
</div>
<!-- 58%/42% split
on extra small, small and medium devices and 66.3%/33.3% split on large and
xlarge devices -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-7 col-lg-8">col-7
col-lg-8</div>
<div class="col-5 col-lg-4">col-5
col-lg-4</div>
</div>
<!-- 25%/75% split on small devices, a 50%/50% split
on medium devices, and a 33%/66% split on large and xlarge devices. On extra
small devices, it will automatically stack (100%) -->
<div
class="row">
<div class="col-sm-3 col-md-6 col-lg-4">col-sm-3
col-md-6 col-lg-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6
col-lg-8">col-sm-9 col-md-6 col-lg-8</div>
</div>

No Gutters
To change the gutters (extra space) between columns, use any of the .g-1|2|3|4|5 classes
(.g-4 is default).
To remove the gutter completely, use .g-0:
