h-auto

The h-auto class allows the element’s height to adjust dynamically based on its content. Instead of setting a fixed height, the element expands or contracts depending on how much content is inside it. This is useful for paragraphs, cards, or dynamic elements like accordions.

Code Example

html
<div class="h-auto bg-indigo-500 text-white text-center flex justify-center items-center font-bold rounded-md">Height: auto</div>

Preview

Height: auto

How to Use

Add the h-auto class directly to your HTML element:

html
<div class="h-auto">
  <!-- Your content here -->
</div>

  • sm:h-auto — applies from 640px and up
