Max-Height

    Utilities for setting the maximum height of an element.

    Show all classes

    Set the maximum height of an element using the or max-h-screen utilities.


    Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:max-h-screen to only apply the max-h-screen utility on hover.

    1. <div class="h-48 max-h-full hover:max-h-screen">
    2. <!-- ... -->
    3. </div>

    You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:max-h-screen to apply the max-h-screen utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

    To learn more, check out the documentation on Responsive Design, and other media query modifiers.


    By default, Tailwind’s max-height scale uses a combination of the as well as some additional height related values.

    You can customize your spacing scale by editing or theme.extend.spacing in your tailwind.config.js file.

    1. module.exports = {
    2. theme: {
    3. extend: {
    4. '128': '32rem',
    5. }
    6. }
    7. }

    Alternatively, you can customize just the max-height scale by editing theme.maxHeight or theme.extend.maxHeight in your tailwind.config.js file.

    tailwind.config.js

    Learn more about customizing the default theme in the theme customization documentation.

    If you need to use a one-off max-height value that doesn’t make sense to include in your theme, use square brackets to generate a property on the fly using any arbitrary value.

    1. <div class="max-h-[32rem]">
    2. <!-- ... -->
