Examples
Basic example
Use top-<number>, right-<number>, bottom-<number>, left-<number>, and inset-<number> utilities like top-0 and bottom-4 to set the horizontal or vertical position of a positioned element:
<!-- Pin to top left corner --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute top-0 left-0 size-16 ...">01</div></div><!-- Span top edge --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute inset-x-0 top-0 h-16 ...">02</div></div><!-- Pin to top right corner --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute top-0 right-0 size-16 ...">03</div></div><!-- Span left edge --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute inset-y-0 left-0 w-16 ...">04</div></div><!-- Fill entire parent --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute inset-0 ...">05</div></div><!-- Span right edge --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 w-16 ...">06</div></div><!-- Pin to bottom left corner --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute bottom-0 left-0 size-16 ...">07</div></div><!-- Span bottom edge --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute inset-x-0 bottom-0 h-16 ...">08</div></div><!-- Pin to bottom right corner --><div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute right-0 bottom-0 size-16 ...">09</div></div>Using negative values
To use a negative top/right/bottom/left value, prefix the class name with a dash to convert it to a negative value:
<div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute -top-4 -left-4 size-14 ..."></div></div>Using logical properties
Use start-<number> and end-<number> utilities like start-0 and end-4 to set the inset-inline-start and inset-inline-end logical properties, which map to either the left or right side based on the text direction:
Left-to-right
Right-to-left
<div dir="ltr"> <div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute start-0 top-0 size-14 ..."></div> </div> <div> <div dir="rtl"> <div class="relative size-32 ..."> <div class="absolute start-0 top-0 size-14 ..."></div> </div> <div></div> </div> </div></div>For more control, you can also use the LTR and RTL modifiers to conditionally apply specific styles depending on the current text direction.
Using a custom value
Use utilities like inset-[<value>] and top-[<value>] to set the position based on a completely custom value:
<div class="inset-[3px] ..."> <!-- ... --></div>For CSS variables, you can also use the inset-(<custom-property>) syntax:
<div class="inset-(--my-position) ..."> <!-- ... --></div>This is just a shorthand for inset-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.
Responsive design
Prefix inset,inset-x,inset-y,start,end,top,left,bottom, and right utilities with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
<div class="top-4 md:top-6 ..."> <!-- ... --></div>Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
Customizing your theme
The inset-<number>,inset-x-<number>,inset-y-<number>,start-<number>,end-<number>,top-<number>,left-<number>,bottom-<number>, and right-<number> utilities are driven by the --spacing theme variable, which can be customized in your own theme:
@theme { --spacing: 1px; }Learn more about customizing the spacing scale in the theme variable documentation.
