Float

Toggle floats on any element, across any breakpoint, using our responsive float utilities.

On this page

Overview

These utility classes float an element to the left or right, or disable floating, based on the current viewport size using the CSS float property. !important is included to avoid specificity issues. These use the same viewport breakpoints as our grid system. Please be aware float utilities have no effect on flex items.

Float start on all viewport sizes

Float end on all viewport sizes

Don't float on all viewport sizes
html
<div class="float-start">Float start on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-end">Float end on all viewport sizes</div><br>
<div class="float-none">Don't float on all viewport sizes</div>

Use the clearfix helper on a parent element to clear floats.

Responsive

Responsive variations also exist for each float value.

Float end on viewports sized SM (small) or wider
