Basic usage

Setting the maximum height

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

html
<div class="h-24 ...">
  <div class="h-48 max-h-full ...">
    <!-- ... -->
  </div>
</div>

Arbitrary values

If you need to use a one-off max-height value, you can use square brackets to generate a property using any arbitrary value.

html
<div class="max-h-[32]">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

Applying conditionally

Breakpoints and media queries

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.

html
<div class="h-48 max-h-full md:max-h-screen">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
