Bootstrap Media Objects


Media Objects

Bootstrap provides an easy way to align media objects (like images or videos) to the left or to the right of some content. This can be used to display blog comments, tweets and so on:

Example explained

Use a <div> element with the .media class to create a container for media objects.

Use the .media-left class to align the media object (image) to the left, or the .media-right class to align it to the right.

Text that should appear next to the image, is placed inside a container with class="media-body".

Additionally, you can use .media-heading for headings.



Top, Middle or Bottom Alignment

The media object can also be top, middle or bottom aligned with the media-top, media-middle or media-bottom class:
